Personally I think it's pure marketing ... something I think we all =
know...
I seen a few years back a FTTH development get completed using GPON - =
everything in the area got "Full Gig Internet". Speedtest while I was =
onsite showed about 900Mb/s download so pretty darn close (before they =
fully deployed).
The interesting part was that the development consisted of 4400 active =
users the last time I heard but the bandwidth to upstream provider was =
still only a single GigE and was not hitting serious saturation levels =
most of the time.

How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? For a single =
person it is overkill. Similar to the concept of price elasticity in =
economics, going from 50mbps to 1gbps doesn't necessarily increase your =
average transfer rate, at least I don't think it would for me. Anyone =
care to comment? Just really curious, as to me it's more of a marketing =
push than anything else, even though gigabit to the home sounds really =
cool.
