I’ve used this guy a couple times,  Use your favorite switch/POE switch and  viola PON network using switches.  Pretty sure it doesn’t work with Zhone… But Zhone is #88 in my list of PON vendor choices ;)

Rip it out.

Where are your splitters? You can probably fix this with PoE 8-port switches and UPS-es.

Every day you wait will cost more.

You will never get 25 years out of this, I predict 6mos and then you rip it completely and put in copper/IDFs.

Unfortunately management didn't want an apple to apple comparison. They wanted a comparison to how it was spec'd out originally not how we typically deploy it now. I don't think this is a deal breaker for my job, we have 50+ buildings left to manage, and our contractor is responsible for maintaining it for the most part for the next year at minimum. The previous management (CIO/CTO/their assistants) were pretty much fired over this fiasco. New management is much better to deal with.

These two things do not quite agree.

Update your CV - It is not your responsibility to shoulder the stress of your superiors' bad decisions, especially if you have no room to learn from those mistakes.
