Well, that is ONLY true if all the line from the "central" is copper. Verizon and others have and are still running fiber, which removes ALL distance barriers.
Just an FYI.
True enough... :-) But the OP did say "in this case copper wired to the house".
Do these other ISPs in the US actually run fiber to the houses? Or just to the central office?
I know that when they were running fiber in my neighborhood (Georgia, USA) they were running it to the pole in the front yard. I asked the guy and he said it was the new fiber coming in. Now I didn't climb the pole to check it out, but I do know that it was copper from the pole to my house. -- Until later, Geoffrey Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. - Benjamin Franklin
