[AusNOG] Wow

Sorry maybe I missed something

“Our FTTN technology delivers fast broadband via fibre-optic cable that runs to a neighbourhood node/cabinet and from there using the copper lines to deliver high-speed broadband ultimately via VDSL technology.”


I understand there is the multi/mixed technology solution, i.e. cable and other techs.

My read of the article, it implies if all the coper cables are bad they will replace them.
