Here's a study from Cisco forecasting 26% worldwide compound annual growth in IP traffic through 2022, and 21% for North America:

I'm currently seeing 3mbps on average per FTTH household at peak traffic time.  Chuck was saying 4 earlier....so we're in the same ballpark.  Allow at least a gig of overhead so your gig customer can get a gig when he actually wants/needs it.

We've been around 25% or so CAGR on bandwidth for a long time, but it varies on individual years from 15% to 100%.  I think it was a year in the early 2010's where we had the 100%.

Mark, I'm working on a grant application and they are wanting to see proof (and a PE stamp) on the design that it will meet performance requirements for X years. I'm very comfortable with GPON at a 32 split or less being fine for probably at least 8+ years.  Just was asking if there is an industry standard way of calculating this or if everyone doesn't worry about it. I suppose it would be much more relevant if we were proposing a VDSL system instead of FTTH.

    Chris,

    Does it really matter?  If you are AE you get 1GB per customer
    dedicated.  Not too hard or expensive to to bump that to 10GB per
    customer dedicated.  GPON does 2.5Gbps per pon usually shared by
    32 customers.  New 10 Gbps PON will do 10 per pon or I've even
    heard that they can do 40Gbps per pon using different wave lengths.

    Our system has been up and running for 6+ years.  I've had to
    upgrade switches and routers.  Even had to upgrade to sfp+ uplink
    cards on one of my fiber systems.  Haven't had to touch GPON cards
    or customer ONT's.  In my system I see the 2.5Gbps PON lasting for
    many many years unless something drastic happens.

        Is there any standard or common rule of thumb to design for
    future usage when designing a FTTH deployment? As in, we estimate
    average usage per sub to be 2Mbps now and increase by 40% per
    year. The intent being to certify that your design will meet
    demand for say 10 years.
