This news article about FTTR left me scratching my head. What is the value proposition in adopting this technology?
Given that the article talks about fibering individual rooms in your home, for Gigabit speeds.
I’ve already done it with my own Gigabit PoE switch and Cat 5e to each room.
Assuming that we are taking about a clean slate, that may be something worth considering depending on the cost of equipment and fiber runs, but I don’t see how it’ll be beneficial to existing home installations.
In addition, all the equipment seems to be owned by thr ISP. So you won’t have any real control over network configuration and management in your own home either.
Maybe someone has a better idea of why it would be useful.
yes i also wondering,but i guess is for future la. Given that the article talks about fibering individual rooms in your home, for Gigabit speeds.

some say fibre is near zero latency, ethernet got latency. fibre also can carry many different wavelengths in one single strand, might be more beneficial for full duplex saturation
my router not also is already capable of utilizing 10gbps internet, just need to upgrade switch later for fibre run or 2.5 / 10gbps to the whole house
right now everything is 1gbps,
