I wish AON was more common than GPON, since with AON you can have your own CPE, while with GPON your CPE will get data from multiple customers, so you controlling it is a privacy risk.

Yes, me too. But it's more expensive. And ISPs are so used to milking old infrastructure it's a miracle we're getting any fiber now that DOCSIS can do gigabit.

edit: funnily enough, DSL is similar to AON in that it's dedicated last mile

I wish there were fully libre DSL routers.
