Yeah no. You set up the fiber, test the new system multiple times while it is offline, then swap. This is basic IT. It has nothing to do with the age of the old wire either And naming the contractor is WILD.

Ive heard them give sixteen different explanations at this point. They dont have an actual answer. Copper wire is copper wire, they dont just discontinue it
