Michigan City, IN | To soon? I think its currently a waste to upgrade to GPON, they are by NO MEANS currently pushing BPON to the limit to warrant a upgrade to GPON.
I think its a waste of money, that money their using to upgrade could be used for further their range to fios customers (more customers)
Hell they dont even have that many customers and they arent pushing this service like they should be to get it to the masses. |

Yeah because the $20 more per sub that it takes is to much !
How about 10 years down the road when now they don't have to upgrade to gpon cause all new builds have it already ?

Why wait until there is a pressing, absolute need to upgrade before doing so? I think it's a waste of money to NOT upgrade. You're buying something (BPON) that will be needed in the future. I would hope that new delpoyments would be GPON and the old BPON would be replaced. That's the problem with big businesses some times. I'm glad Verizon is doing things the right way... Or at least in a way where there not going to be hurting a few years down the road. I call it smart business.... ALso, I agree with you about the fact that Verizon isn't pushing as hard as they should, but they don't really have to right now. I had FiosTV and Internet for 8 months. The installers were having trouble keeping up with the present work load. |

It is not a waste of money to upgrade to GPON now. The GPON equipment is cheaper than the current BPON equipment. The upgrade is acutally saving Vz money.
It can't possibly be an easier decision to upgrade. |

You should think that the markets serve by VZ have past the Break Event Point
So increesing speed should make more money when they sign another 10-20% of the market...
either way with the discounts on volume purchasing from equipment manufacturer...
if you have PON Switch at say 15000 and GPON at 17000... i would pay the extra 2000... would you not do the same... |

What's happening is the cost of deploying GPON is very similar to BPON now. So, why spend the money deploying BPON now and then have to come back and spend money upgrading in the future if for the same money they could just deploy it now. That's not wasting money. That's being smart and saving money.
