I've been waiting for my FTTH activation for over a year. It seems like it's almost there, but the construction site hasn't been finished.
OpenFiber seems to have left some situations pending, proceeding extremely slowly and leaving some areas out.On Tuesday afternoon, I reported the situation to the Municipality's mobile office, which comes to my neighborhood once a week.
They took charge of the report.On Thursday, they confirmed they had urged OpenFiber to take action.
This morning, some technicians arrived and went to the external pole, where the cable arrives and the "box" was installed, everything was assigned, etc. There's still a part missing - but the municipality seems to have given the provider a two-month ultimatum.
My report unlocked the construction site and the completion of the works. Am I sure they will finish within the deadline? No. But I am sure that, now, something will move more quickly.
Fingers crossed!

FTTH can be consisted with several types of topologies / technologies used.
Most common 3 patterns would be:
*Simple media converter. No sharing of a fiber end to end, at least
per wavelength.*Active Optical Network (active star). One or more 1:n star topology,
each of the stars are controlled by managed channel divider.
Upstream side of fibers are shared.*Passive Optical Network. One or more 1:n star topology,
in each of stars, signals are splitted into n downstream and
merged into 1 upstream using optical prism.
As all downstream fibers receive exactly the same signals,
each sides of all terminals need to be strictly synchronized
and each packet is needed to contain initiator and target
to determine the packet to be for /from which terminal.Basically, the latter, the cheaper.
And if the upstream terminal has no free connector, need to wait until any of them are freed or introduced additional terminal.
Active star has another bottleneck on supply chain, channel divider. This is (AFAIK) less common, thus, possibly hard to quickly obtain. -

Every time I see FTTH I read it as FGTH, which means Frankie Goes To Hollywood in my eighties' clubber mind (Relax, don't do it). Those were the days...

Maybe I'm too old for all these matters

@angel you are not. And memories are precious, both for the people who have lived then and the ones reading about them
