I think our phone lines (the only buried cable here that can do data) are probably >40 years old. They're still selling DSL over it.

- nine_k 2y agoCoaxial "cable TV" cables, also sometimes buried, can carry data all right, at pretty high speeds, given right electronics.
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoI'm aware of that, but here there's no coaxial cable TV lines either. The only lines in our area that can provide data service are the copper phone lines.
