Explanation

The 'local loop' (also called the 'last mile') is the physical connection between a telephone company's central office (or branch office) and the customer's premises. It is the final segment of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) that delivers service to end users, typically over copper twisted-pair wiring. 'Loopback' refers to a diagnostic test that routes a signal back to its sender. 'New loop' and 'indigenous loop' are not recognized telephony terms.
