I personally am hoping that VM at some point does make the jump. When you have a connection that does not feature jitter, you really notice it in some applications.

Having been on xPON for the past year, however as I moving home I am having to go back to old HFC. A real 1G up/down has been a treat, especially during the current pandemic. Whilst I think we are all sick of work video calls (in fact I think I could go so far as to say I have had enough for an entire lifetime) my xPON connection has operated flawlessly. Other colleagues have stutters and stops, but my soon to be old connection just holds the fort.
I think people forget, to get to the eventual cheaper running Rfog you have to spend 100's of millions to get it. When you already have a HFC network that is being upgraded,(not quick enough i might add) it's going to be cheaper to do, then implement Docsis 3.1.
