VM plans to upgrade the whole of its network from DOCSIS 3.0 to 3.1 by the end of 2021, and 3.1 can extend RFoG networks with increased spectrum and higher modulation. So, VM is not necessarily in a rush to move to xPON.

In 2019 VM ran a field trial of symetrical DPoE over existing RFoG with an ARRIS E6000 edge router in the hub site but we never heard what was the outcome.
