Understanding Fibre to the Home

[@zakkyteja7817]

I really appreciate your video, i found this video is very helpful and very informative. Keep going brother

[@elliotalderson6769]

simple and in clear english. couldn't ask for more. thanks.

[@Daluke61]

Whole lot of good information in less than 7 minutes. Just what I was looking for. Thanks!! And oh yeah, thanks for dumbing it down at bit as well.

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

Only a pleasure

[@jensschroder8214]

With AON it's a separate line. With GPON it is a shared line and the provider recognizes the ONT by the MAC address.

[@shanelaird9032]

Excellent Information, easy to understand... well done!!

[@sukoon76]

appreciated brother...it was informative

[@MRSketch09]

Thanks for doing this video. Educational.

[@dharshanramdutt9261]

i can listen to this guy all day - he seems a bit tipsy though - thank you sir!!!!

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

I don't drink alcohol :/ It's just I have a lot of info in my mind on this so I'm trying to keep this a simple as possible.

[@slightlyblighty]

He's drunk from knowledge

[@everykenyan]

Legit helpful, thanks man :)

[@SkashTheKitsune]

"if your neeighbour's streaming HD porn, you definitely won't see it" mayb not see it, but I can hear it happening *cringe*

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

LOL

[@CarltonTony]

Well understood 👏, i was confused but i understand now

[@montatharhayder]

Very informative video 🌹

[@kenanvulimu9838]

Very nice video, I'm new in fiber education can I get more teachings on fiber optic basics and How it's applied

[@praveendissanayake2509]

Dang it. I wish I could get an AON service. But here in Sri Lanka, a passive optical connection is all I'm getting.

[@GilmoreStudios1]

Hi thanks for video. Very informative. Could you give me any idea how I can lease recently laid fibre in my area to become an installer please. I want to try and run my own FTTH business. Thanks Django (South Africa) it just sounds like u r from here?

[@Andy-Robus]

thank you for the explanations and for shattering the myth (well my myth) that i thought Fibre was always relitively the same speed and didnt suffer from contention like ADSL - I was wrong then , so there will be a noticeable drop at peak times then even with FTTH ? Also you say on the PON that the light is split by prism to split the signal to others on the network yes? - if that prism got dirty or 'cloudy' over time say, like other glass gets would that/could that actually cut down or block the fibre optic signal then?

[@rhman1660]

It could, but the chances of the optical splitter getting dirty are extremely low. I actually have never seen an optical splitter get dirty or cloudy. They have been used for decades, by every cable company in the world.

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

LOL dirty? If the losses are too high then your internet connect will drop regularly or you will battle to connect at all.

[@batmore1]

I know you made this many years ago, but I would like to hear you explain uplink on a PON fiber network. I know it involves timing as if everyone on a PON fiber tried to upload at once there would be a problem. Is the intelligence for timing on the OLT or on the ONT or both? Thanks!

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

I believe it would be on both but the OLT would take the lead. Given that each manufacturer has their own GPON implementation I'm not exactly sure. It's like everyone trying to make a phone call at once or hospital beds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[@OthmanAlikhan]

Thanks for the video =)

[@denenaude3072]

Is an open access provider good or bad .. such as link africa isp .. ??

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

Open Acces is good. Most in South Africa are Open Access.

[@Jetroy]

What exactly is an optical network unit and can I directly connected it to my lan switch

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

It's an ONT an Optical Network Terminal. In most cases no you need to connect it to a router first because the ONT usually uses what is called a PPPoE connection so unless you connect it to your computer or laptop you can't use it. Think of the ONT like a modem.

[@acarvincent]

i wish you could provide a pdfs it be dope

[@akshaynarshi827]

Waiting for more Videos

[@taurene]

this video had blown spiderman's cover

[@vishprem6741]

Greetings “OpticalNetworker”, A question if you please: Would you be able to say whether BT's [in the UK] new 300Mb/s offering of FTTH is Ethernet or E/G PONS-based? Keep up the good work. Ii is very understandable that there is, sometimes, so much “Up There” that the information are unable to be relayed easily. Meaning that you ae not “Tipsy” other than being “overloaded-mentally”. Thank you.

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

No BT uses GPON for there consumer FTTH network. I think it's a Huawei GPON network.

[@ahmedfeituri5044]

3 types for optical network P2P, AON, PON P2P (N users has 2N transceivers+ N optical fiber) AON (N users has 2N+2 transceivers+ 1 optical fiber) PON (N users has N+1 transceivers+ 1 optical fiber) THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPLANATION

[@vishprem6741]

Thank you for the infomation.

[@h.i.1359]

End of 2017, people get to choose different FTTH connections, and I still have to use ADSL abomination...

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

Why where do you live?

[@hvwees]

So happy with my ftth connection which is p2p....

[@MuhammadFathy2612]

Sadly i still have the humble 1 mbps adsl connection

[@mohammadibrahim5186]

Where do you live Africa?

[@AndreKhan716]

thanks

[@cocodobie]

thanks!

[@hariregmi977]

its a nice one

[@marcse7en]

I understand it alright! ... I just can't have it, despite living right next to the bloody Telephone Exchange! 👎😠

[@elomkangnivifolly-bebe8996]

good !!

[@homeconnect7863]

“music: bensound.com”

[@CrusherFTW]

AON's have more equipment that can burn from electrical surges though. :)

[@rhman1660]

That is not a true statement. It requires more fiber, The number of active electronics is the same.

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

Plug a VFL into a GPON network and the OLT is toast:)

[@MSB1180]

Appropriate your video

[@markjackson8261]

FTTP accreditation £1500, pathetic , thats what it costs an engineer to qualify to fit this.

[@Marvon85]

Is this guy getting more drunk as the video continues?

[@Marvon85]

Very informative vid though

[@TheOpticalNetworker]

Given that I don't drink alcohol I'd say no😌.

[@Marvon85]

Thanks for the reply. Are range extenders any good?

[@tonyweavers4292]

@@TheOpticalNetworker Why are people so f'ing rude? Great video, thanks.
