My understanding is that the shared part is at least 10Gbit for each segment. Not sure how many houses would share one segment.
I still expect a fiber connection to be faster than my 25Mbit DSL connection. And it's not like people are constantly downloading, so I would think for the most part you ought to get decent speed in most cases, although of course what speed the server at the other and can provide you is a different story. It's only as fast as the slowest link.
At least what I have read says Rogers is using XGS-PON and they say they offer up to 8Gbit symmetric (so has to be XGS-PON based). And I did find at least one article say rogers is in fact one of the companies deplying XGS-PON. Apparently NG-PON2 is too expensive still. Of course the fiber itself in the ground doesn't care so they can upgrade later if they want. -- Len Sorensen
