My very simple and stupid 1GE SFP/ethernet fiber media converter, uses 
4.3W when idling.

These can easily be 1-2 Watts. I put in a 1GE SFP into the before 
mentioned Broadcom HGW and power usage went up from 9.4W to 10.2W. So if 
it's a GPON or similar then I'd imagine it's substantially more 
considering that it's quite a lot more things a GPON device needs to do.
