Yeah I totally agree. One bad modem could take out/degrade internet for hundreds or thousands of customers connected to the same CMTS. It's actually surprising

I don't see many (any?) people trying to connect their own GPON equipment to GPON fibre networks.
- mmis1000 6y agoProbably only a few user that require sustained high speed transmission will want to do this. The equipment ISP provided isn't very powerful and will likely overheat and degrade the connection if you use it so violently. In most case I guess people just plug their own router after the GPON and don't bother what is the GPON doing.

You could for example repeatedly transmit packet headers followed by a long break, and collision avoidance algorithms would stop any other device transmitting.
