Does your vdsl2 modem heat up as much as the fiber GPON?
Heat + not properly ventilated (eg. units stacked on top of one another) = shorter lifespan
There are two types of VDSL2 modems that TM uses.
1) The Huawei (black) modem - some earlier batches have over-heating issues, in fact I got mine replaced many times due to overheating and unstable connection.
2) The ZTE (white, standing) modem - this one is better and do not have over-heating issues due to ventilation holes at both sides of the modem, but you must place it standing. If possible, ask for this modem the next time you ask technician to replace it. In fact, I got mine replaced with this one 9 months after using UniFi.
