I'm not sure how distances like 70 and 30 meters are actually useful. In my home there is certainly more than 30 meters of cable between phone socket and phone company's junction box in the basement, add another 10 meters from this junction box to where the cable actually enters the building and then at least 20 to actually get to the street.
- walshemj 12y agoThis is for Fibre to the Curb, Fibre to the Cab (junction box ) is what is more commonly used and you can already get plenty fast enough bandwidth for consumer's with VDSL or SDSL at that range. Btw Cab is UK tlco slang for it not sure what the USA Telco term is
- Rapzid 12y agoHow is fiber to the curb that helpful though? Why not just run it up and put the box on the side of the house like they currently do? This requires an extra modem.
- walshemj 12y agomuch shorter run of copper so you can get faster speeds
- jessaustin 12y agoSo do you install a router on the sidewalk?
- vxNsr 12y agoI think we call it Fiber to the Node.
