The article is about those to whom they are trying to roll out fiber, but insist they want copper instead. People who have fiber in their buildings, who just need to have it run upstairs to their apartment, who instead want the copper repaired.
- doctorshady 12y agoThis actually relates to areas where they've already deployed fiber; they don't want to keep maintaining the copper plant in those areas. Verizon issued a press release a while back saying they'd no longer deploy FiOS in new areas. Fire Island was one of the few exceptions to that, and only because people weren't happy with Verizon trying to give them cellular service in place of the copper network the hurricane ruined.
