Of getting it NOT on the large Nokia ONT? I looked into upgrading to one of the Hyperfibre (Rocket) plans early last year, but found out that Chorus is waiting to use up the stock of the large Nokia ONTs but hopefully by sometime in 2025 we'd be on to a newer/smaller ONT. I think I read somewhere that they extended that a few times, is that the case?

 

I'd be quite keen to upgrade to Rocket 1G; but our in-wall network cabinet wouldn't fit the ONT.

Simple answer. No. 

 

What ONT you get depends on stock and they’ll get rid of the old stock first.

Main issue per the other thread is no one on Geekzone wants the huge Nokia box, we're all waiting for the stock to be depleted so can get the smaller Zyxel box.
