Is the fiber that was installed in the 80's useable now? I thought I had a technician tell me that all of the fiber installed back then was obsolete now because the technology had changed from back when they installed big bundles of multiple strands.
The same can be said for the copper wire installed in the 80's... 1880's lol But their still being used.
I honestly can't see there being a reason why they can't use that fiber. I understand where you're coming from, but any fiber would be better than the copper.
It seeing how my area has gone from SNET to ATT to SBC and back to ATT in the last 20 to 25 years. Despite having the same work force. I can only see them being taught new rules for each company. Rather than new technology. You know, it's all about the rapport with the customer, but never about the 100 year old technology.
