We have a range of residential packages from 150Mbps up to 1Gbps
symmetric. The ONT is the same in all situations. There is no SFP
cost, due to it being a copper port. If we were to offer residential
packages beyond 1G, a CPE swap would be required, but there is little
demand for that... yet...
Indeed - XG-PON does not mean you have to deliver 10Gbps to customers.
It just makes it easier to offer higher bandwidth that is symmetrical,
at what-should-be a lower cost than Active-E, for more customers at the
same time.
