@cdine the ONT is provided by, and property of, the fibre network provider. There's no process for third-party devices at that point.

Since both TFF and Quic folks are on this thread.. ;)

 

Would using a customer-supplied ONU that is within specs of the provided ONT (optical side) work on the network?

 

For example, this XGS-PON SFP+ module: https://www.fs.com/au/products/185594.html 

 

 

No





My views are as unique as a unicorn riding a unicycle. They do not reflect the opinions of my employer, my cat, or the sentient coffee machine in the break room.
