Many in Networks have no love of RFoG. Just wait until they try to deploy voice over it.
There's still no VoIP product ready?

Cable companies have been running voice over DOCSIS networks for a decade and a half. This is hardly state of the art. What collection of cowboys are writing the firmware for your CPE?

Sorry if I'm wrong but that's the only impediment I can think of as all the CMTS in use have been happily delivering voice for other MSOs and other members of the Liberty Global family for years.

Appreciate VM need some customisation on the firmware on CMTS to accommodate bugs in the Netgear Superhubs, mind.

VM are the largest cable company I know of that advertises the same products throughout their footprint.

There's a lot to be said for customising offers to the local networks. Didn't feel that bad doing it on Homeworks+, did it?

On the smaller side. Pretty much every US cable company on the larger side.

They may have a point and seem to know what they're doing given they can all manage digital voice.
