It would nice if there was terrestrial fiber map which shows fiber lines in cities and towns. Also is there is a map available that shows where active fiber connections are available by address. FIOS doesn’t have a coverage map.
- zinekeller 6y agoThat would be nice, but I haven't found any, even in other countries. Seems this is due to national security (if someone can break down the network, it will paralyze that country). But at least an idea of exactly where they are willing to install should exist (and does exist in other countries).
- Scoundreller 6y agoHeh, I once figured out where most/all the lines came into the city I was living in. Drove out there and was able to identify it: probably all the providers shared a group of fibre there. I'm sure it was a part of a ring, but fun to learn I knew where the internet came into town :)
- zinekeller 6y agoProbably your city is considered a low-risk or low-value militarily or they have other plans for communication, like separate runs.
- Scoundreller 6y agoIt's probably the same story for any mid-size Canadian city: there's fibre in two places: the way in and the way out. Probably over-time the 'way-out' got rung around so any cut isn't a total outage, but just a guess on that.
- dawnerd 6y agoI found one a couple years ago that showed all the fiber lines on the streets and all that. I was using it to plan out talking Comcast into offering their 2gig.
