The document provides instructions for an assignment on fiber to the home (FTTH) technology. Students are asked to read a tutorial on access networks and FTTH, then answer questions comparing FTTH to DSL, and GPON vs EPON standards regarding transmission speeds, split ratios, and actual speeds. Students are also asked to define terms like triple play service, differential fiber distance, and physical reach.
