<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Cox too is only going to be building
the ftth optical pon networks into new housing developments as
they go, retrofit is pretty much unlikely if you have a house
today with coax.<br>
<br>
Telco's like CL are screwed, they *have* to upgrade to fiber to
even remain competitive as dsl cannot go much more on 2 wires
untwisted, but sheilded coax, with clean upstream provider plants,
can stretch this a way well into the gigabits so even without
fiber, you're not totally screwed having *only* cable (unless in
ancient parts of town with crap old coax from acquisitions)<br>
<br>
What is bunk is this now makes Cox your mostly only choice for
modern fast internet in legacy areas, so certainly they'll abuse
the pseudo-monopoly until someone decides to take on the cost to
refurb old areas with fiber (read: not unless you pay for it,
somehow).<br>
