I disagree. I much prefer fiber to the curb with copper to the home. Of
course, I haven't had a need for 100mb/s to the house which I can do on
copper, much less need for gigabit.
Pro's for copper from curb:
1) power over copper for POTS
2) Majority of cuts occur on customer drops and copper is more resilient
to splicing by any monkey.
