Obviously can't do optical over copper. So this based on POTS or cable tech?

This is mine over wireless. 800/900 over Ethernet.

Straya here our fixed wireless is faster than our fiber and fiber over copper nodes

Just get a ditch witch and lay it yourself, rent a fusion splicer and stick ends on it.

>>60586440
You have no idea how many bored and overpaid bylaw enforcement officers my county has not to mention busybody neighbors.

>fiber over copper
Fucking lol.
Can't call it what it actually is, which is either cable or DSL. Gotta have the word "fiber" in there.

>>60586456
What state (or county if you're comfortable)?
Also, is the fiber node on or on the edge of your property?

$200K sounds like they'd have to dig quite a ways.

whoops wrong person

>>60586456
Yeah our current right leaning govt fucked up our fiber to the home delivery like 5 years ago and we could have had 10gbit symmetrical instead I'm stuck on 25/5 fixed wireless

BT lying piece of shit

>>60586579
Can't you file complaints with ASA saying BT made it sound like fibre comes right to your home instead of some roadside box 3 miles away?

>>60586517
Why does anyone vote for right wingers?

Unless they actually enjoy money going to the rich and warmongering.

>>60586602
pff not like we're gonna get actual fibre optic for ages anyway, for some people I know, 78mbps is "blazing fucking fiber optic fast" to them while all our ISP just fuck our asses by giving us routers that shits itself every week or 2 and what I also suspect: midnight throttlings. also my complaints will all be put in a shredder or shat on anyway

>>60586684
Well even our center party fucked it up and it took like 7 years to get off the ground
