This is a fair observation, however practicalities get in the way. It’s labour intensive to disconnect and connect at Layer 0. The way Access is usually controlled is the user will be unable to authenticate their PPPOE session/receive a DHCP assignment. Some ISPs will also authenticate but send them to a walled garden. Most PON networks are deployed using connectorised terminals so if there was a malicious or faulty user that was not a paying customer, they could physically disconnect them if they needed to without getting out the splicing tools.

In other words, they would send out a tech to disconnect the fiber between my house and the splitter on a utility pole somewhere in the neighborhood?
- simonjgreen 2y agoExactly that, yes.
