What is the use of dedicated ont

[rizexor]

Im using act and i think they have a switch in my apartment and they are directly connecting customers through ethernet. So im wondering what is the use of the dedicated ont for 1000rs

TLDR: More bandwidth (if you're subscribed to a higher bandwidth plan).

The optical module of GPON ONT/ONU is limited to 2.488Gbps downstream, and up to 1.244Gbps upstream. This is further limited to the RGMII ethernet port on the ONT/ONU, which is basically 1Gbit.

Currently, your connection is limited by the usage of other users sharing the same switch. [1]

Getting a dedicated ONT in your case will get you the full 1Gbps up/down bandwidth to OLT.

[1] Some ONT with built-in network switch has the optical module connected directly to the switch via dual RGMII links, providing 2Gbps downstream and upstream at full capacity.

They have one box outside our apt. I think there is an ONT and switch there.
