Hi all,

Optical networking was never my field, but something about this doesn't feel quite right. Can any Linker comment?

Its about costs, if houses are too far apart, there will be too much loss on the fibre to be splitting to every house to meet the current contention ratios, this would mean that extra fibre will have to be used to service these types of customers. ... Wireless is not a bad solution, it is fixed, with antennas(so different to mobile) and can service areas where population is more sprawled than in town centres. Fibre has a 50% loss on every split(its a shared fibre to around 22 homes) so it becomes less viable and cost effective the further residences get apart.
