You are trading one set of flaws for another, if that trade results in a net gain then it is a "good thing".<br><br>The only flaw that has been identified with the FTTH *network* in this discussion (not the applications such as voip running over said network) is operation in a blackout lasting longer than 4 hours (or 8 hours if you can get the person to press the emergency button).<br>
<br>This is a solvable problem, you can supply power at a location with any level of reliability that you desire, Put some bigass batteries in and a solar panel if you have to, hell put a mini diesel generator in as well if you are really worried. However the number of people who would benefit from this to my mind is small and shrinking.<br>
<br>The copper network also has major failures, what happens when it rains and the lines get "crossed" to the point you can't dial out or understand a call you are receiving, or they just crap out totally, this happens to my father about once a year. Or when there is a flood in QLD and nothing works till it dries out again. <br>
The solution to this problem is to run new copper, which I feel given the solvable nature of the FTTH systems issues and its benefits in operation is a bad trade.<br><br>Now FTTN will take coppers problems and make them worse I feel, unless they have waterproof nodes now?<br>
