Just wondering if anyone has attempted/succeeded terminating fibre (Auckland, Chorus) into own routers instead of provided ONT box?
My motivtion to go through this hassle is to declutter the cupboard space, reduce number of power points required and improve on cable management. At this stage I'm not sure if there's any performance benefit I could get out of using a somewhat spcialist router over what seems to be consumer grade hardware, but let's say that's also a driver.

Mikrotik routers for example have SFP-enabled routers, so it should be possible to physically plug the fibre into router. The bigger question is what sort of link that fibre actually is.

Any success stories out there?
