It's still RFoG Docsis over fibre, so don't get too excited. Terminated into coax at each end. Still sharing the same channels as always. Nothing like GEA FTTP.
So, why are they bothering? They can achieve 300Mb with fibre to the node and coax to the premises. Why bother with fibre along the street unless they are expecting something different going forward.
