There are technical differences.
Believe me, I am well aware of those, but I am talking about practice here, and maybe we are just lucky, but aside from measured values, there really is no practical difference between the two lines. That may also be because a fast connection at home is useless to me if there is still "a lot of traffic" on the network behind it. By the way, with copper you are also on your own two wires up to the distribution point (typically < 500 m cable length), but much more important are the lines/connection behind that. In fact, in Germany GPON even dominates the fiber optic sector, which means you already share the bandwidth with your neighbors in the first few meters, and behind the OLT it is already a shared area anyway. What I want to say is: it does not matter what advantages there are on paper if practically there is no difference, and I see - as I said - hardly any difference for myself. PS: I would prefer fiber optic as well, but if it is an area supplied with supervectoring, that would be enough for me for now.
