ST Fiber

I had a company come in to update some of our wiring. We have a few hundred fiber connections in the building that they are going to work on next. They want to take the network down for over a week to rewire. Most of that time is replacing fiber ends. All of our fiber has ST ends on it right now they are wanting to change that stating the we are going to have a hard time finding ST in the near future, and claiming that it will help our bandwidth. They also want us to change everything over to our SM stands instead of our MM strands claiming that will help bandwidth. They want us to abandon our MM and only use SM with they are going to re-terminate. To my knowledge the only reason to choose between SM and MM is distance and cost bandwidth should be the same. I can not think of any reason that changing the fiber ends would help with bandwidth either. Sounds to me like they are trying to pull one over on us.
