Interestingly enough, most providers still run PON, but all their equipment, including splitters, is at the telco's end of the P2P connection. Apparently it is slightly cheaper to build out a PoP like that.

Probably just the equipment is far far cheaper now (customer ONTs and telco OLTs) than point to point is my guess?
