Fiber cables can carry a signal quite a distance.

Not disputing what you are trying to say but we were all signed up with AIS and when the engineer came he measured it as 250 metres and wouldn't install the cable.

The same as with fiber, it depends on location whether those distribution points are serviced well and their UPS able to bridge the power cuts.

I have been here about 12 years and for a large part of that had a landline, used dialup before we went to ADSL, cannot ever remember losing the phone during a power cut.

At the end of the day it all hinges on local reality as opposed to theory.

GPON/EPON fibre is good for 20 Kms or more. The problem is if you are distant from a splice box you'll have to pay for the cable deployment. The cable is cheap but the cost of bolts, sling clips etc etc (assuming the job is done correctly, which it most likely isn't) on each pole adds up quickly with runs of more than a few hundred metres.

And how does that relate exactly to the original point that if a distribution box was within 200 metres every chance it would be affected by a power cut.

 

Why do people feel the compulsion to go off at a tangent?
