Does anyone knows a place that sells fiber Optics cables for dsl lines ? and how much the price per meter ?

Fiber Optics backbone will be ready end of October 2012 (all Centrales). Fiber Optics to home will be the next step after that. Nicolas Sehnaoui Said.

I don't think you will find fiber optic cables used by the phone companies on retail here anywhere. For a home user, they would sort of be overkill because they come bundled with hundreds or even thousands of individual fibers together. The only individual ones I have seen are for connecting audio components.

huh? why do we need fiber optics for 10mbps at home?

we need fiber cables for delivering these speeds to village or town or city, consider we have 30 users in a town, so we need a bandwidth of 300 Mbps to deliver 10 Mbps for each, so fiber is necessary for home to CO connection but is mandatory for Ogero to CO connection.

@Michaelbaini,
Depends on your liking S/M mode (SC- SC> SC -LC) and more, Katranji sells fiber optics. Cable du Liban as well :D

to be modern,
the bandwidth requirement is not based on one service requirement.
if using the internet, yes the branch backbone can be smaller and run on copper, then again copper quality in lebanon is lame, hence wont realy be realiable.
the concept of extending fibre to replace copper goes beyond using it just of the internet. fibre is also used for other media, such as telecom and broadcast. yes, in the future, you might be receiving your tv broadcast via the fibre and not the air. that is another thing that is horrible in lebanon, the air is so congested that you have all sorts of problems there.
the multiple usage of the fibre is partially refered to as convergence of services.
i would love to see the day when lebanese households start using fibre! i think it wont be before my grandson has retired..and even then ...:P
btw, i like the idea of buying fibre cable by the meter :). let me know on whether you succeed and what is the packet loss rate on the cable, and before all, how long it is in use before an idiot neighbor cuts your cable..
