said by jmn1207:said by Chris 313:If fiber things really needed no maintenance, then why are they switching from the earlier BPON to the GPON equipment they're using now? Wasn't it fast enough to start with?
The current trend would suggest that BPON is fast enough. Otherwise, Verizon would have swapped out existing PON's, and they have not done this. They are only using GPON for new installs, as this is apparently a more cost-effective solution.
Sure, but when do you think that the whole footprint would be GPON? Or would they just leave BPON installs as is permanently?
