GPON revolution: Kyivstar switches to fully fiber-optic Internet
The Kyivstar company announced a complete transition to GPON technology to provide a more reliable Internet connection in conditions of unstable power supply.
Modernization of Internet networks
Strategic decision of the provider
Leading Ukrainian provider Kyivstar announced a large-scale modernization of its infrastructure. The company plans to completely switch to GPON fiber optic technology, abandoning the existing FTTB networks.
Technical advantages
Unlike FTTB technology, where optical fiber is brought to the building and requires power supply to local switches, GPON demonstrates greater autonomy during power outages. This solution will significantly increase the reliability of the Internet connection for users.
Expansion of coverage area
It is expected that the modernization will affect not only large cities, but also small settlements where Kyivstar » is often the main Internet service provider. This is especially important for regions with limited choice of providers.

Finally! It's high time to modernize networks. GPON is much more reliable in conditions of constant blackouts 🔌 I have it at home, it works perfectly even during power outages.

And in my area there is still FTTB. When the light goes out, the Internet also turns off. I hope Kyivstar will not forget about residential areas 😕

Yes, modernization is needed. My friend works remotely, for him a stable Internet is a matter of earning money. GPON really helps in this situation ✨
Victor
Again these endless technologies and upgrades. The good old cable always worked fine. Why change something if everything is fine? They will just waste their money. 🤦♂️

Alessandro, what is your GPON speed? I’m thinking of switching too, I’m tired of the constant disconnections 🤔
Alessandro
Isabella, stable 500 Mbit/s! And most importantly - no problems with electricity 💪

I wonder how long it will take to completely modernize the network? Does anyone have any info? 🤷♀️
