ADSL and fiber
Hi
I want to find out why does fiber optic transmission systems pose a problem to ADSL technology? Here is a quote from a site discussing ADSL and VDSL.
Several other factors might disqualify you from receiving ADSL:
Bridge taps - These are extensions, between you and the central office, that service other customers.
Fiber-optic cables - ADSL signals can't pass through the conversion from analog to digital to analog that occurs if a portion of your telephone circuit comes through fiber-optic cables.
Distance - Even if you know where your central office is (don't be surprised if you don't -- the telephone companies don't advertise their locations), looking at a map is no indication of the distance a signal must travel between your house and the office. The wire may follow a very convoluted path between the two points.
Fiber-optic cables, one of the major disrupting factors of ADSL, is actually what enables VDSL technology”
