This is quite puzzling...what did they replace the drop with? Another
piece of copper? Fiber? Or, when you say "building", do you mean a large
apartment complex, large enough to support/justify its own V-rad?

Huh? Ran a "data line"? Whatever do you mean by that? You really haven't
addressed the issue or defined the problem. Do you mean a -fiber- "data
line" or a -copper- "data line"?


Replaced twisted pair with Cat 6.

In other areas, they're replacing twisted pair with fibre.



You seemed to be all in a tizzy that they "cut the copper".

When ATT installs U-Verse, around here, the first thing they do is cut
the copper.

It sounds to me that they just replaced it with another piece of copper.
If they were just replacing the old drop (which may have been defective,
full of squirrel bites or whatever) with a new drop, what's the problem
with that?


You're being obtuse. Maybe this will help:

They removed the analog phone line. And replaced it with part of a
digital voice, data, tv bundle.

No analog phone. Period.
