Re: Full Fibre Network
No, doesn't make sense on investment when its cheaper to squeeze the HFC network and with DOCSIS 3.1 and symmetrical 3.1 on the horizon there is even less of a requirement to upgrade legacy plant. On that note, I cant see there ever being a difference in service between HFC and Fibre areas either, helps drive the argument that full fibre doesn't offer "that much" of a benefit in the short term... which it doesn't really.
