(1) Copper service varies from dialup to 45 Mbps T3 connections at significant expense. Residential DSL and Business DSL have different price structures. Consult providers who offer Internet over copper lines. DSL does not work over fiber lines. Copper wires generally are on telephone poles, and do not function if there is a disaster such as downed power lines.
(2) Performance falls off from the distance of the central Office or regenerative repeater.
