[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3851396, member: 43724"] That is incorrect. The ONT (Optical Network Terminal) takes in a fiber connection then goes ethernet to a ISP supplied gateway or to just a regular router. It is correct that you won't have a modem typical to DSL or cable, but it does allow a regular router to be used, just not a modem/router combo. The ONT typically is a white, wall mounted box that will have a power cable and possibly an ethernet cable coming out of it. And as I said, you have to be on fiber as DSL does not have the bandwidth to hit 150 Mbit/sec, much less the speeds you are seeing. [/QUOTE]
