Vumatel Fibre is it PON or AON

[Greglsh]

Just wanted to find out what network model Vuma uses and what are the real world pros and cons to either technology.

Briefly and oversimplified.

They use both, Areal is usually PON and trenched usually AON but that's not a given.
PON cheaper to deploy but you have contention, AON more expensive but not so much contention.

Okay, so basically when 100/100 or 200/100 or higher or fibre to homes becomes more popular will PON not have an issue. Maybe by then technology will find a way to have more data running over the same equipment.

Sounds like job interview prep

Yes they will run into contention issues, but then they have several options, like upgrading gear to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NG-PON2 or reducing the number of splits etc.

No, just was reading about the different technologies and Vuma might be installing in my area soon and just wanted to see what they were using.
