Thanks - I was thinking more about a provider using the fiber like FIOS. Fiber is only good if it is straight fiber to fiber like a FIOS. If cooper is involved in any stage of the flight then the bandwidth is reduced. This is the main reason why Comcast is limited in number of HD channels it can offer. If I find a good online explanation of total/carry bandwidth I'll provide.
