I assume those of us in SF on GPON will have to wait longer for CO equipment upgrades first (Sunnyside/Miraloma Park - Foerster St)?
Sounds like a good plan!
Regarding upgrades, we're first going to be able to offer them to the cohort of about 4,000 existing customers who have GPON CPE, but where those are actually connected to XGS-PON equipment in the CO. These customers were deployed at a time when we were ahead in the CO, and behind in the premise due to equipment availability. This will give us an opportunity to develop the process and the kit. The long-term plan is then to roll that out into each region over time, as CPE (chip shortage) issues are resolved and based upon uptake. You can expect a "request upgrade" tool for us in the near future that'll let us aggregate demand and prioritize upgrades based upon that.
