Active just use a big-assed switch with lots of SFP ports and media converters at the houses.
I prefer Calix but it is not the cheapest thing out there. I know others have tried to save money by using Adtran or Chinese gear and have not been happy.

If I do active, what switch platform would you use for sfp in cabinet and in home router/cabinet. If GPon, what vendor would you choose that is cost effective/reliable I understand the full limitations of GPon.. But I feel it is an attractive proposition compared to active... And the few systems I have seen have a road map to faster olt access. Cheers, ______________________________ Andreas Wiatowski | CEO Silo Wireless Inc.
