His heating bill in the Winter must be low.
5:30 The explanation of GPON being a shared hub sort of connection is fairly inaccurate, because it compares it to the much more shared type of connection that is cable internet.
The fiber connection between the ONT (user side) to the OLT (head end) _is_ dedicated, not shared - if you were to shine a laser on one end, you would see it out the other. There are no active switching devices in between, only passive light-splitting prisms - hence "Passive" Optical Networking. As a result, there really aren't any bottlenecks in between the customer and the head end, and each ONT gets a dedicated TDM channel for its connection - I believe for ISP setups, this is usually a 1x64 split, hence 64 channels; OLAN is typically 1x32, however the new technology XGS-PON (10Gbps PON) supports up to a 1x128 split.

This was a fantastic video especially the network walk through
This was really a fun video! You should do more home setup videos with your guests!
You really have some hardstyle in the mix? My man 😎 That's my style 🧡
Holy crap Kirk is a madman
Fascinating setup! I'm going to have to re-watch this video later and pay more attention to all the stuff this guy has! 😂
Gigabit Pro. No jinx. I want a Gulfstream G650ER Private jet with a bedroom and shower.....but what I want really is for Lon to have this first!? How crazy is that?
Gpon is only limited by the equipment installed. Most onts are 2.2 gig rated they just have gig Ethernet and are designed for multiple accounts and usually there's a 10 or 20 gig uplink for 32 subscribers
Holy Crap! This set-up!
unreal setup
Good Lord. That guy does indeed work in a data center. The sheer cost of all of that is insane. No wife would put up with it. :)
I'm sure he did not pay for a lot of this stuff when you work around data centers you come across plenty of off lease gear.
Good for you for reopening the schools!
Actually these days (A year later) he could probably consolidate all of that hardware into a single Epic Rome 128 core server Box and replace all the HDD with a few 20Tb drives and use NVMe SSD's for active data leaving the HDD for cold storage. I would think the whole thing could be replaced for $10-15K which would be paid back by the saving in electricity.
GPON - Gigabit Passive Optical Network. Your favorite web search can provide the details. In addition to maximizing the amount of data handled by a single fiber, you'll see your local GPON deployments use pre-built fiber cables. Your install tech does not need the skills of fiber cutting, polishing, and connector attachment that an old-school fiber tech needed for installations in previous decades. As for the Juniper router, close match is www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/routing/acx-series/acx2100/ , though this is a AC-powered model instead of a DC-powered model.
Hey I was just looking this up yesterday lol seems like you read my mond
Can someone please post a link for the product used to measure power usage?
Wow. Now I wanna see Lon's setup lol though i don't think its this hardcore
Can I get help please.
Logitech k600 keyboard.
I connected F1 to bluetooth and now it's like I bricked the dongle. How do fix it. I watched your vid with driver software but I have no idea what that is and how to get it.
So now twitch require 3 Gb connection? SFP is only 1Gb. It should be SFP+.
VMware is the best. I usually do Network-attached storage with ESXi, just makes it easier to move VMs around different ESXi hosts with vMotion (non-storage).
what is the estimated cost of the gigabit pro service
Guy needs a big server just to save DJ music collection ?
@@Verminator151029 music does use a lot of space. producing and everything else
He is in another level. I can only dream of owning half of that stuff let alone getting an internet connection 1/10th the speed. Is this guy married? My wife already thinks I'm crazy for having wireless access points and running cable throughout the house.
Same here, my wife is like "Access Point! Why do you need that?" She just doesn't understand, we need our tech!
@@iBarber504 lool
Wow, that fiber has a tuff life in the rack with those bends. You can't blame comcast for an unstable connection when you are treating your fiber like that.
Modern fiber is very flexible, you can wrap a pencil and have no loss.
Wow hope he's fully covered incase of a meltdown. How much did he spend on all that gear?
Can you drop the $19.99/month for the "router" rental if you return that Nighthawk? Or do they bundle the Juniper with it as well?
I believe in the comment section of Kirk's blog post Kirk says you can't remove the rental fee for any of the Comcast hardware
His setup looks nice... But a work of warning NEVER ALLOW FIBER CABLE TO BEND 90 DEGREES,,, I have seen many an install fail because if this.
...fyi...its a loop...not a 90° bend...perfectly correct install...
@@ltdees2362 Watch at 8:53 that is a 90 degreee bend which is very bad in the fiber world. I have walked into sites with bad performance and that is what I typicality find wrong.
www.ppc-online.com/blog/do-you-know-how-far-you-can-bend-your-microduct-and-fiber
You are right. I have faced this similar issue. This is light passing through so a 90° curve like that will cause network problem as it's having for the light to travel with these kind of barriers in the path.
Strangely TH-cam has completely stopped emailing me about all new videos from all of my subscriptions. I just realized I hadn't seen any Lon.TV videos in a few days.
I have the 1000/ 40 here in ct
Oh wow i can't compete
And you pay music rights for streaming music on Twitch?
This guy has a network that is better than most of my 200+ employee clients. I'm stuck in the sticks with crappy DSL... 😐
Hey do you guys know if they’ll install the equipment anywhere in the home you want? Ex: I want my router/switch etc installed upstairs instead of down where the coax is now.
I think they'll try to work with you as best as possible to get it where you want it. But there might be added costs, complexities depending on your situation.
@@LonSeidman thanks for responding, I hope it won’t be too difficult, the room is upstairs in the back of the house, I would really be okay with it being anywhere upstairs. So far my total cost after the initial survey is $7400.
@@dranksinatraa What they were most concerned with on my interior install was being able to get the cable routed without bending - the cables coming in from outside are super rigid so if they can't keep it straight it's more challenging.
Tens of megabits per second up, a _choice_ of cable companies? You guys don't know how good you have it! Where I live, Comcast's maximum upload rate is 5 Mbps, and for the higher-priced plans only. The "gigabit" service here maxes out at 40 Mbps. So there's no reason to get more than the cheapest plan that offers 5 Mbps up because 40x5 is the best you'll get no matter how much you pay. The competition is mainly WISPs that offer 256 kbps symmetrical. That's the norm for most of America. The good stuff is only available downtown, for commercial buildings and at breathtaking prices. No wonder the US has fallen so far behind in tech.
Have you considered signing up for Starlink’s beta?
@@ualdayan i switched to starlink from cast 😁😉
Lucky, still no fiber to the home here in Phoenix, even though maps show it. Cable is all we've got, Cox gigablast 1Gb/s is it
I have a gigabit at $150 with poor upstream speed. I would love to upgrade to gigabit pro due to working from home with a lot of video. Putting down $300 per month is quite expensive. The only solution is to wait for a couple of years when everything will move to docsis 4.0, allowing upstream 1 gbps.
And I'm just happy with my wifi 6 router...
hehehe
His power bill must be through the roof.
I would consolidate to a single Epyc ROME machine with 128 cores! HP is a B*ch to keep the firmware up to date on since you need a service contract to access their software repository
@@PWingert1966 Exactly I would cut this down to a less than a half rack of gear.
It all starts with just one rack-mount device.
Tell me about it... I've got the bug.
man i never would go out if i had that connection speed😂
Gigabit where I live is $500 a month so you're still getting a good deal
I sometimes feel I am fairly "techy" but when he was talking about all this it sounded like he was speaking a foreign language
Then what do you mean by being techy? Do you assemble PC like legos or what?
@@wiziek I don't really know what you are getting at with this comment. I can't tell if you are being facetious or not.
Considering that a lot of this stuff is something that technicians would only really know it’s not surprising that most people wouldn’t understand everything.
...and how many of us really need a gigabit...oh honey...we've got to move out of the bedroom so I can turn it into a server room...captain Kirk to Enterprise...energize...😁
"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy"
Should've done Ceph instead of RAID :P
Google algo brings me here years later. Why did that guy need so many ethernet ports? Did this guys install dozens of monitor cam to his house?
$300...unreal
So thankful for my $79.99 gigabit Fios
I loved Verizon FIOS when I lived in NJ. Usually got 1.3 Gbps download even w/1GB service, and 900's for upload. Now I'm in Comcast cable only area, paying a lot more for gigabit service, and getting 600's on average download/upload and low 900's at best. Don't you hate monopolies and lack of choices in the U.S.?! Still feel lucky I get good speeds, albeit at a price I have no choice but to swallow.
same here dude i lovvv my fios
Yup. $70mo, no contract.
Wow.
This guy isn't married is he 🤣😂
@@Verminator151029 y
The computers are his wife
At least his wifu has a nice Racku and large storage containers!😋😁
What’s the point of having such an elaborate setup? Seems like a huge waste of money.
enthusiast... its like people who go all out on cars, add additional horsepower, upgrade muffles when all you do is increase is noise without adding a benefit to the vehicle, etc
@@zed952 I'm still unclear on what exactly he does that warrants such an elaborate setup? Doesn't it become overkill at some point?
@@hdguy350 Nothing warrants buying a Ferrari. It's a hobby and he enjoys it.
Nothing this guy likes overkill. There's no justification for that many wired runs period and I'm willing to bet that everyone besides this guy is using wireless anyway.
I have a cheap gigabit router, a silicondust prime, a mini PC running as a File Server / RemoteApps / Windows Media Center - DVR / Kodi Streaming Device (via WebDav & FTP), Web Server... with over 20TB of USB3 external storage and the unit draws around 10-15W. I also have a separate gaming PC that I stream with moonlight, which is setup with WakeUp On Lan, because it draws maybe 30-40W at idle. The rest of the stuff is just normal laptops, some cheap tablets and fire TV sticks, but every devices has access to everything inside and outside of my home. Games via moonlight, movies, tv shows, DVR, music, pictures... you name it and it all goes through a cheap dlink router with gigabit ports.
My whole house is uses less than 120 watts at 'idle', including my server, security cameras and various other smart home stuff. I just can't imagine wanting a set-up like this. The fire risk alone is pretty terrifying.
Six month wait? Wow
I think it'll be sooner than that but they put in a date far enough out to keep the order alive.
@@LonSeidman Until their system swallows it.
Kirk
This seems like such a rip off, I have gigabit symmetrical for 60 bucks.
WoW..I Would Sure Like Some 1gb Speeds n My Neck Of The Woods..200mbps down X 10mbps up Is the MAX i can Get..Kinda Sux But Just 3-4 Years Ago I Was Stuck on a 2.5mbps down an 1mbps Up So I Am Glad Its Beter But Still Not Where It Should Be ! O And I Thought I Was Bad With My 2 Dual Xeon Servers one is Just Dual 6 Core Xeon X5675's & Supermicro X8DTH-6F W 64Gb of ecc Ram & 10Gb An My Main Server Is A Supermicro X9DRI-F With Dual 12 Core E5-2696V2's With 128Gb Of Ecc Ram Dual port sfp+ 10Gb Nic in a Super micro 24Bay Case For Back Ups, Plex & VM'S ! Very Cool Set Up !
شركة ايرثلينك ما عندها هلكد وايرات 😂😂
This is the definition OVERKILL - excessive use, treatment, or action; too much of something.
Seriously, I pay less than $100 for Fios Gigabit, TV & Phone. I have Gigabit router, a silicondust prime, a mini PC running as a File Server / RemoteApps / Windows Media Center - DVR / Kodi Streaming Device (WebDav & FTP), Web Server... with over 20TB of USB3 external storage and the PC draws around 10W ( not including the external USB drives ). I also have a separate gaming PC that I stream with moonlight, which is setup with WakeUp On Lan, because it draws maybe 30-40W at idle. The rest of the stuff is just normal laptops, some cheap tablets and fire TV sticks, but every devices has access to everything on the network. Games via Moonlight, movies, tv shows, DVR, music, pictures... you name it!!!
If I can do all that with little crappy hardware I have.... then WHY on this green earth is what this guy doing remotely necessary? He has tons of unused ports sitting on those switches for what? How much you want to bet that the majority of devices his family uses is WIRELESS! Does he have ethernet wires running to his bathroom or to the microwave?
@@josephp1592 overkill is overkill, theres still limits and caps on servers, so more bandwidth doesn't always mean faster upload speeds. Also my silicondust provides a direct recording feed of the broadcast coming over the service... It doesn't get better than that.
@@josephp1592 first off it's a cable card, so get your facts straight. Secondly, this would need to be a business to need those kinds of speeds. This is a stupid conversation from someone that just wants to brag about their connection. I seriously doubt you use 3Gb and I would love to see proof that it's required for something other than an extreme business situation.
@@josephp1592 Well I get a 1Gbps up and down where I'm at and yes, I can get more. Netflix requires 25mbps for 4K streams, so that's 120 connections at 3Gbps and 40 connections for 1Gbps. There's no need for more than that IMO for a home user and I stream to family members too! Also, my silicondust homerun is completely relevant, as I can record the original incoming feed and have backups. Look I understand why you went up a tier, but you're stretch the truth about needing that much bandwidth.
@@josephp1592 then you're not streaming that to family members at 130mbps. What a crock of BS! Even so you still get 7 feeds at 1gbps. Seriously I can tell when someone is stretching the truth and that's all youve done
