The sad thing is, buried fiber is not always an end-all, be-all answer. I’ve seen a significant number of “operators” that bury the fiber, but don’t put their OLT cabinets/huts on gensets… or if they do have generators, they are not maintained. This was proven to be a huge issue during Hurricane Beryl last year, where every FTTx operator in Houston (except for one) had large quantities of outages throughout the entire metro.

I can't wait for buried fiber on my street to come one day. _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/5RJKYO7SLP5RZTT6KLIA6KHF7RBZMQY5/
