Residential----fiber media converter---L2 switch-- and then the rest of 
the setup you can re-use. AE isn't magic, insted of having an OLT,CMTS or 
DSLAM you just have an L2 ethernet switch.

They're mostly just media converters anyway. 15 years ago I deployed ADSL 
like this:

Residential---DSL modem---DSLAM----L3 switch

So DSL-modem---DSLAM was just doing RFC1843bridged over ATM. Just media 
converters. Same thing, just different type of media converter.
