Yeah, I guessed there would be an early adopters pain curve like with anything UBNT.
I just got on their online 'test' system and noticed most of their CPE on reports are on 'high failure' for about two weeks on their demo, lol! I hope that's not real data they are mirroring/using. -----Original Message----- From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brett A Mansfield Sent: Monday, July 31, 2017 2:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] UBNT OLT Transition from Active Ethernet to GPON I have heard a lot of complaints from DirectCom customers about their Fiber never being close to what they pay for, but that may be more related to the way it's throttled then the GPON. I've been playing with several of these ONT/OLT over the past week. I really like them. Though I have a 50% failure rate on the nanoG's. The fiber port breaks very easily.
