From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about FTTH. Here is what it replaced:
ADSL / ADSL2+ served from 1999. What ultimately replaced it?
ADSL / ADSL2+ split the copper-loop spectrum into hundreds of DMT subcarriers, assigning most bandwidth downstream; reach and rate fell off sharply with loop length. Its job passed to FTTH — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
