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?
PON = shared system. That's probably the only way they can get fiber to multiple dwelling buildings.
