I can go take photos of it, but that would be a real pain in the ass as
it's not a short drive. In some cases it's a box up on the power-pole
attached to the phone cable and from that point to the house it's
fiber. In some cases it comes straight out of the box mounted to the
side of the roadway where both fiber and copper come out of it and go up
the pole for distribution to the neighborhood. I stopped and talked to
one of their guys on their truck, he said they use copper to a converter
and fiber from there to the house so it's really DSL even though it's
fiber. This conversation was about a year ago, I forget what he called
the converter.
Our main competitor in this area is zipply and the customers that switch
to us all have a common complaint, poor speeds. They were promised
30MBps or higher and usually get less than 5 and their main bitch is
they're not able to connect, upload/download and they're paying for
services they're not getting. We have two customers that switched
because they telework from home. They file documents, come-on, what
kind of load is required for filling out orders and forms which are
mostly text? Barely 1MBps if that and zipply lost those accounts.
We market like a puppy-store. Try it for a test drive for 30 days,
free, Try us, compared to what you have already. If you like us then
start paying after 30 days. If you don't like us, ask us to come get
our equipment, no charges. No contract.

Jan I will have to say that I don't think any of that is accurate, but
the thing that stands out the most; They are feeding their fibers subs
from dsl? C'mon really? I think you are confused, Zipply is
primarily expanding and providing fiber, but they bought some service
areas from Frontier and they are stuck with some dsl stuff due to caf
obligations, show me where anyone is delivering fiber to a customer
that is fed via DSL and I'll eat my shoe...

Well of course, you don't think they want the law-suits to follow

personally know. He moved away on a new venture of his own, he
started up a WISP, now he doesn't report to anybody other than his
wife and customers. He's much happier and healthy now.

Yeah, Frontier wouldn't answer the phones for tech support,
wouldn't take care of their customers, etc.... . We had to switch
our phone service, it too sucked. They used to be GE, then
Verizon, then Frontier and now they're zipply. Same people, same
company, same trucks, same buildings. Selling DSL as if it's
fiber. They have DSL nodes along the highway and they run some
kind of converter to fiber and run that fiber to homes in the
area. The further they get down the road of course, the shittier
the signal. I think that's their MO: rip everyone off till the
law-suits start, close shop and reappear with a new name.
We have one customer who paid for two lines from Zipply just to
get 6MBps of iffy service for $90/mo. We give them 30MBps for
$55/mo. They're real happy I knocked on their door.

I can’t prove it yet, but I’m pretty sure there a
