Copper will stop being viable tho

It will be charging people more to receive less, as they do with every service

You will get access to bandwidth you currently can't

So it will be more

Unless you want to pay stupid amounts for a dedicated business line

Again I get what would be worth 10k pm 5 years ago

For 75pm

Exactly.

Price is dropping already!

Economies of scale.

But at some point copper will not be able to be maintained

Well, it just won't be cost effective to do so

Yes, that's what I said

There's no point in doing it when there's a superior medium out there in every possible way

they will either have to have universal fibre roll out, or they will need to retain parts of the copper network

They are having a universal fibre roll out

2050 at the earliest, nathan

No no no

2030 at the latest.

good luck with that

Because they're literally going to be disconnecting and selling the copper switching hardware

You've got an unrealistic perception of their abilities and competence

It's already happening in Europe

This isn't Europe

We're not the 'leaders' in this

So we're not able to learn from their mistakes and learn how they're doing things? ...

There isn't the money or ambition

But there's already both

It's already happening

i love how my isp advertise fibre, then it turns out it's 7mb

0.5mb up

They're probably advertising fibre to your cabinet, then copper to your house (Fibre to the cab)

Your house being very far away from the cab, means much lower speeds

That issue *basically* goes away once you're on fibre to the prem

I'm not going to pay an extra 14 quid a month for no extra speed 🙂

When fibre to the prem comes, you're going to get a higher speeds and a cheaper price

We've been through this <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

No, you've made a baseless assertion

I'll believe it when i see it

But all evidence from the past is it won't happen
