I assume that depends on how big city you are, I'm in a city of 200k and the residential is copper wire.
Copper wire does not equal "not digital". In many countries, digital telephone services on copper wire have been quite common since 1994 or thereabouts. I've certainly had ISDN for at least 15 years.
Here, there's more and more high-speed Net. access, WITH phone service on fiber...NOT copper, and therein lies the problem.

Once again, what's required is the proper terminal device. Please describe the situation you're referring to, where it's impossible. Copper or fibre is simply the physical medium. Twisted pair copper has the advantage of providing power to the device. Beyond that, the physical layer is irrelevant. BTW, I've worked in telecom for much of the past 37 years and I have run many systems, over copper & fibre. Incidentally, most of the phone system runs over fibre. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
