Fwiw, 

My pair to the CO started crackling at extremely unpredictable times and   
with all sorts of severity; it could totally kill DSL. Verizon handled it   
well, and after it looked too costly to locate + fix the trouble (no   
TDR?), they gave me a different pair; been fine, since. Couple of truck   
rolls, iirc.

I think it was a Speakeasy tech support fellow who said that fiber is   
strong in the Eastern US because old copper pairs are becoming expensive   
to maintain. Interesting slant re FiOS, there.

whose apt. complex has a phone cable duct 
that's blocked, so Verizon can't run the FiOS 
cable into the basement until the duct is unblocked, 
or something else is done. We all have fiber to our 
broom closets, though!
