Probably having diffuculty (or not bothering to) obtaining copper in
your area, and instead laid fibre to the area(or bought fibre).  They
terminate the fibre at both ends, provision a DS1 signal over it and
voila, you have a T-1.

This was commonly done with T3(DS3) installations, but with the DSL
craze, getting copper lines has become difficult, thus the move to
provision fibre and cut bell out of the loop.  If you can get the
fibre in cheaply enough, having a customer pay for a copper DS1 with
local loop and pocketing all the cash to pay for your fibre
infrastructure instead of paying a bell is a good business model.

Hi,

I ordered a T1 quite a while ago and now Verizon seems to come around
the corner and finally install the connection, however...

I need a 4 ft square panel on the wall so they can mount a couple of
things:
-    Fiber Cable Termination
-    Soneplex Equip
-    Smart Jack Shelf
-    Rectifier Cabinet
-    Battery Cabinet

Also their instruction paper says: "Requirements for DS-1 Service via
Fiber"

Since I don't have that much experience I am beginning to wonder what
is
going on.

Can any of you shed any light?

Thanks!
Jan
