And depending on application, each has specific benefits.

The drop to the house would be Singlemode fiber. An interior run from the ONT could be either, but it makes more sense for it to be SM since it doesn't have the Effective Modal Bandwidth limitations of MM. However, that doesn't mean MM won't be used.
