Hello,
my ISP is deploying fibre under the FTTH architecture, which means that it will use PON or shared fibre method. I read online that it is up to 32 end points on the same optic strand.
For the moment I am under copper internet and I have those performances:
dowload: 60-70 mbps (23 latency) | upload: 30-35 mbps (155 latency) | ping: 11ms
For the switch to shared fibre, my ISP proposes a base offer of “up to 500 mbps D/U” and a middle offer of “up to 2.5 gbps D / 500 mbps U”.
My questions are:
- Is the 32 end-points a standard limit or is it up to the ISP to decide what is the limit? If it is at ISP discretion, up to how many end-points can we have?
- Following that, is the performance of Fibre only on the speed or also on the latency?
- When they say “up to” what is usually the realistic number we get out of it?
- As it is shared fibre is the noise on peak hours creating same disturbance on the signal? Or is the fibre less impacted than copper internet?
Thanks in advance for your help
