Just someone trying to explain why you need their product.

Having seen the trends over the years, no one need FTTR, not even businesses. The reason is that gige is fine for 99.99% of needs. Most places don't have enough internet bandwidth where you could even use more than gige speeds (and there's not 2.5gbps and 5gbps) to do anything.

Yes, if you're doing >1gbps, fiber is significantly less power, but again, existing wire plant can likely do 5gbps over copper and still be fine for the rooms that need it.
