1. What PON technology are they moving towards? XGPON? XGSPON? Or straight to 50GPON?

this2. Does it means 800Mbps FSU will get the new tech? Or it is reserved for new packages with even faster speed next year?
> No, what been told: under <= 800M will stay with GPON
3. I am also curious on what is the arrangement between you and TM. If what you said is true, that means the remaining lifespan of your GPON stick business is short unless you expect lower speed tier customer to be interested in GPON stick but I am sure we all know this is a nerd thing.
> Thats secret, I here just to help and ease with the setup, so I can ensure to TM that my device not doing some nasty stuff (
not to trust user capable to setup properly)
4. On the other hand, have you consider working on a future version of xPON stick right now, before TM launch whatever new service down the road?
4a. Any idea when it is coming?
> No ETA on this, they told start with Business first in KL (trial run), there are around ~500K of 2Gbps subscriber, use of PON Stick not even 0.01%, many stay with stock D-Link and they are just fine with 1+1 configuration
5. I am also wondering if their new generation network will actually say goodbye to PPPoE, offer static IPv6 Prefix like /56 or shorter.
> No, PPPoE is to stay, there are PPPoE Hardware Acceleration Router like Mikrotik. /56 for business only, for home use NAT64
Like I said before, take this info grain of salt, I my self not believe, if TM did, there will take longer even longer to upgrade the OLT
Also, many just want 1Gbps upload (system/hosting), they don't mind 1+1 download
Okay, so that would be 50GPON.
800Mbps after FSU will be 1Gbps, 2Gbps, etc. The target speed is unknown right now. Based your your statement then it's better to just wait till FSU is to decide what to buy.
What about firmware update to current user?
The arrangement between you and TM matters when it comes to support.
Right now the demarc is the ONU. Everything before the ONU is TM's responsibility. Everything after that is customers responsibility. Now if you have a business arrangement and TM says your product is okay on their network, that would fix a lot of ambiguity.
But as of now, it's not quite clear if that's the case. You only mention your product didn't mess with the network, but TM never provide any endorsement.
No, Mikrotik cannot offload PPPoE. That's why I asked. 2Gbps, fine. 5Gbps, maybe. 8Gbps onwards? Not sure
