I guess I don't understand why you need this much tech just to get the fiber off the pole and into my house [1].

The coax drop from Comcast drapes off the pole, hits little more than a barrel connector on the side of the house, and then comes straight in the house and plugs into the modem.

Why can't you do the same with fiber?
