I'm not trying to be aggressive here (specially since I'm WAY out of my lane when it comes to networking), but what's wrong with PON?

  It's asymmetric, providing far less upload capacity than download.

    It doesn't have to be. I'm on a PON, I've got symmetrical upload speeds.

    It can be, but the two biggest PON operators in the US (AT&T and Verizon) offer symmetric speeds.

      AT&T fiber in San Jose was GPON which is a 2.5 G down/1.25G up, split to several households (where I was, it was sixish lots per pole, but some lots had several units, and I'm not sure if the fiber to the pole was split earlier). They sell 1g/1g service on that, and it's clearly oversubscribed heavier on upload than download. 2:1 down:up is way better than most DSL ratios, and I usually saw better up than down speeds.
