1. A method to analyze network performance comprising:
- receiving a time period to analyze broadband network spectral compatibility;
retrieving circuit operating metrics of a first and a second twisted copper pair circuit during the time period; and
qualifying at least one of a first or a second plain old telephone system (POTS) twisted copper pair circuit for broadband services to determine the network spectral compatibility based on the operating metrics.
