AT&T is the 'carrier of last resort' (COLR) in California, and as a result the state's telecom regulatory agency said the operator cannot shutter its aging copper DSL network in the area.
If they don’t want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
Not to mention, fiber is cheaper than copper at this point.
Telecoms are just lazy and don’t want to string up new lines.
