So a new breed of Routers etc may be upon us very soon
Nope not gov owned although gov may have an interest where certain subsidies are provide.Which fibre are they using. I was told once that the fibre network in Canada is govt owned and only the pole to house and modem are the ISPs concern???

The EPON connection starts at the headend with optical line terminations (OLT), similar to the DOCSIS CMTS. In the field the EPON architecture uses optical CPE, known as optical network units (ONU) that connect to optical taps. The ONU replaces the traditional DOCSIS cable modem. So I get an Ethernet cable from the ONU and into my Tik .... the authentication takes place in the ONU that's pre-configured for my account to deliver Triple Services .... Internet, IPTV and Phone. For non-tech people Rogers would install a CPE but in my case that would not be necessary as described. This makes EVERYTHING pure KISS.When you say EPON what do you mean.

Sounds like you want to plug the fibre directly into the router.......... good luck with that I think that breaks terms of service and is illegal.
Given the price of the current CCR2004, I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out cheaper than the CCR1072...
And I (sadly?) share views by @BartoszP ... that 100Gbps is nowadays too expensive for MT range. And I don't mean the possibility of adding a 100Gbps interface, I'm talking about capability of routing at that speed.
Just like what Cisco charges you for an interface card, the price that you get charged for a 100Gbps Internet connection is mostly arbitrary.If you can spend the money on a 100Gbps Internet connection, then the cost of the router is no issue.
The as yet hypothetical CCR2016 could, if we look at what the current CCR2004 can do and assume linear scaling, do about 150Gbps. That's as close as we're likely to get in the near future...
To be able to realistically saturate 100Gbps line, router would have to be able to route at at least 250Gbps according to official test results ... and this number should stand where there's 4538Mbps for CCR2004. Not sure if CCR2016 will be that much faster than existing CCR2004.
