If you're already trenching tunnels through suburban neighborhoods, seems like adding residential fiber would be a no brainer. Could make the whole thing a lot more sustainable.
- bluGill 3y agoMaybe, but it isn't clear as if you do this and one system breaks the other system also has to be taken down for repairs. Sure you can put fiber in these tubes, but if the tube needs to be replaced you have to cut/splice the fiber inside. Likewise if a tube collapses (more likely to break the fiber than if it was surrounded by dirt) you have to do something about that fiber to get it out. So long term it could be worse to do this. Note that we are talking about small tunnels here. A large tunnel that a human could walk in allows more flexibility.
