 magic_rb | Ah so when they offered us 4gig then that means they would have to connect us to xgspon | 13:47:44 |
 K900 | So the best case scenario is that you have multiple trunks per building with like 5 users per trunk | 13:48:04 |
| K900 | But of course no one does that | 13:48:09 |
| K900 | Because that would not be cheap and being cheap is kind of PON's big thing | 13:48:25 |

Ah so when they offered us 4gig then that means they would have to connect us to xgspon The cool part is that they can just patch your fiber into a different box | 13:48:45 |
| K900 | And replace your modem | 13:48:51 |
| K900 | Assuming they do have an XGSPON box | 13:48:59 |
| magic_rb | Ah so the fiber medium is compatible? | 13:48:59 |
| magic_rb | That runs between me and the whatever | 13:49:07 |
| K900 | The actual physical fiber is, yes | 13:49:14 |
| K900 | I mean | 13:49:19 |
| K900 | It's fiber | 13:49:20 |
| K900 | It's hard to make it incompatible | 13:49:33 |
| K900 | Laser comes in one end and comes out of the other | 13:49:55 |
| magic_rb | Right | 13:50:25 |
| magic_rb | Okay | 13:50:26 |
| magic_rb | Makes sense | 13:50:28 |
| magic_rb | So for home fiber id want AON probably | 13:53:00 |
| magic_rb | I was planning to do p2p only, i dont want to be splicing fiber | 13:53:19 |
| K900 | Oh yeah you can't do PON at home | 13:53:48 |
| K900 | You'd need a modem on every device | 13:54:07 |
| magic_rb | Why not? | 13:54:07 |
| magic_rb | Modem? Wouldnt a gpon sfp module be enough | 13:54:22 |
| magic_rb | Or do i need something fancier | 13:54:27 |
| K900 | And the ISP side hardware is call us for a quote priced | 13:54:30 |

Modem? Wouldnt a gpon sfp module be enough That's the trick those things are modems | 13:54:47 |
| K900 | PON isn't Ethernet | 13:54:56 |
| K900 | It's not semantically compatible | 13:55:13 |
| magic_rb | So the isp side is way more complex than my side | 13:55:14 |
| magic_rb | Got it | 13:55:15 |
