Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hello, I am electrically sensitive. Would installing fiber optics make thing worse for me or better or no difference at all. I'm considering it because it would save me a chunk of money each month. Please get back to me as soon as possible as the fiber optic people are coming her today. Thank you.

Fiber optics for what purpose? I've heard complaints about the decoder boxes that convert fiber optic cable TV/internet signals into something that would be useful for your TV/computer. I don't think the fiber optic cable itself would cause any ES problems. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I changed my DSL and home phone line, not TV. So I was wondering if when talking on my digital cordless home phone it would make me more or less sensitive.

Well, the fiber optics are out on the street, but at some point the signal needs to be converted to a " regular " signal so that you phone knows what to do with it. So that converter could cause a problem, and your sensitivity to your phone may be the same, better, or worse (depending on how " clean " the signal is after it is converted, and how much noise the converter adds to your house electricity).

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Digital cordless phones can be strong sources of radiation-- they can be of similar strength as mobile phones when you talk. Even when you don't talk, the base station where you charge them is constantly sending signals. Israel was recently warning about their potential dangers. > > > Marc, where I live the phone company is encouraging people to covert to > > fiber optics and a significant savings monthly.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 We tried the fiberoptic phone system from a cable tv co. for short time. They put the digital converter in your house if you're wired underground vs.outside on pole if not. I didn't' have meter measurements, but felt it.  I went back to reg. land line. Still using DSL. We've been thinking about fiberoptics since it's supposed to be safer, but I don't trust our phone co. telling me the truth. They have built in wireless to share DVR in cable converters. They said they can wire  separate, but. would the factory install still be in them? Then you're stuck w the DVR converters, if bothers you. We feel better w/o rf converter boxes.  I think some cable co.s moved more basic channels, to make you pay for the box. I'd love to save money, but .
