I've been using ZTE lately, and testing Alphion when it comes in. We have a Dasan deployment, ZTE deployment, and soon Alphion on our next one. Each one has it's own issues. The ZTE I imported direct from China, so my cost per port is super cheap. I got 32 ONT's and a OLT from ZTE and we are at <$5k. The OLT is capable of 8 PON ports per card, for a total of 1024 customers. Based on the ONT pricing as well, we could serve 1,024 customers for something like $65/sub all in with optics including the customer ONT. Can't beat that with AE and MikroTik, even with the 260GS.
