Tomorrow's announcement should not effect latency whatsoever. The fiber backbone should be finalized and utilized.
Current ISPs still rely on E1 connection to link them to MoT (2.048 Mbps link), still using copper. when the fiber optic backbone becomes operational ISPs will switch to STM-1, a fiber link that will deliver 155.52 Mbps. Aside from significantly higher bandwidth it will deliver better latency to end users.

Will people who receive, let's say 400K instead of 1M in remote villages, get higher speeds when the switch is flipped?
I read today about interesting topic which is "Propagation velocity: Copper Vs. Fiber", in Short, i concluded that we will not see any difference in Latency after deployment of Fiber Network because propagation velocity in copper is faster than in fiber by a little or let's say it is the same.

So what is your opinion guys ??

fiber optics is immune to EMI and crosstalk. Fiber optics is considered one of the most highly secure transmission methods available.

Fibre Channel transceivers can also be driven with true differential pair twinaxial signaling with 150-ohm impedance between conductors. A true twinaxial connector interface ensures signal integrity thereby minimizing jitter and data rate errors that will inevitably degrade the high-speed digital signal.

With fibre between COs your latency should drop between 10-50 ms .

the fibers between COs are they now active or still?

Tarek, will people who receive, let's say 400K instead of 1M in remote villages, get higher speeds when the fiber network is turned on? 800K out of 2M for instance?
Well fiber is installed between the "Centrals" ,but as an example, my friend wanted to upgrade from 1m to 2m,ISP told him that his phone line doesn't handle that speed.
That's the real problem , he lives in Mansourieh and even some copper lines to Ain-Najem and other nearby area can only handle <256k

Yes when the fiber optic backbone becomes operational you should see speed improvements. there are other variables such as the Distance from the CO to subscriber but you should be okay if the distance less than 4KM.

btw, ADSL2+ supports higher speeds over longer distances than the current ADSL1. Most CO do support ADSL2+ but for some reason it is not active, it doesn't need FTTX, its uses 2 downstream channels on the same copper line instead of 1 used in the current ADSL. ADSL2+ suports up 24mbps

I personally live 1 km away from my CO and my line attenuation is 26.5 db. I keep asking IDM if i can apply for the 6-8 mbps and they tell me that my line can't handle more than 4192/512.

The normal db loss of the worst possible copper wire over 1 km is 13.5 by "international standards".

So either our lines are bad or the equipment in the COs are old, or even a combination of both!

I am pessimistic about any changes in speed or latency. The only thing to be happy about is the increased bandwidth and the reduction in price.
