I don't understand why one would run PON when you might as well run the fiber all the way directly to the customer without any splitting and only be limited by the SFP modules attached to the end. Unless the last piece is still copper it makes no sense. Wouldn't a splitter also cost more?
I have 4 fiber strands directly run to my municipal power company and so does everyone else in my city. I can do as much speed as a provider is willing to offer which currently is up to 25gbit. [1]
