Re: awesome

said by sweintz See Profile :

um, yes it is beautiful.

But the fact that it is a PON is not so beautiful.

(PON = shared system. they use optical splitters and everyone uses one fiber)

why couldn't they have spent the $$$ and pulled fiber from CO to each customer?
Because this solution works for the price point they are staying under.

My goodness, people can find ways to complain about anything...and not want to spend a dime out their own pocket to pay for it.
