10G fibre service
 

We can all dream

Taken from another forum. At least 4 years behind the curve

Hi, not sure what your area 10Gbps rollout plans, but 10Gbps Internet Fiber residential services on the increase and many countries are offering it.

Yes. our country (Singapore) is the kinda second (early year 2016) in the world to launch 10Gbps fiber residential services based on XGPON1 standard (SingTel and M1). We have 10Gbps Fiber service based on Optical Ethernet technologies as well.

First was Hong Kong (HK) to announce the availability of 10Gbps residential Internet Fiber services (HK Telecom and PCCW) on based XGPON1 standard too.

Most of the XGPON1 10Gbps are using HuaWei XGPON optical network router (ONR) as the base terminal to provide 10Gbps connectivity, there are a few variants of the different HuaWei EchoLife HN8055Q prefixes models depending on each 10Gbps Fiber ISP needs and wants. (like triple play services, Digital Voice, VLAN etc) and HuaWei XGPON OLT at their backend.

and so begins the Chinese propaganda offensive. You would think they have more important things to deal with atm.

Max, what the **** are you on about. Singapore is nowhere ****ing near china.

Neither is Belfast. It seems like the whole point of the post is to highlight how critical Huawei equipment is in delivering faster internet speeds.

Re: 10G fibre service
 

The post says nothing of the sort, it simply talks about which equipment is in use by various ISPs that happen to offer 10G speeds. The conversation is about 10Gbit, not Huawei. It just so happens that Huawei does a lot of networking equipment.

If we were to talk about 4G or 5G mobile internet, Huawei would come up a lot as well.

Where's Bob when you need him.

Re: 10G fibre service
 

Many places offering these really high speeds are city states (or limited to cities) with high capacity single buildings rather than more spread out suburbs or even our more low level cities.

Population densities in people per square km
Macau = 21,501.42
Singapore = 8,337.03
Hong Kong = 6,510.23
UK = 267.25

A colleague of mine used to work in Sweden, they have 10Gbps readily available in a large amount of the country, not just Stockholm and super-large metro areas. I think this is largely due to how their countries infrastructure is structured (lots of state-owned power companies & Telia owned by state so keen to offer "Open Fibre")

I think the largest barrier is not population density but rather the noncompetitive nature of the UK market.
