so if there's security and performance issues, then can we just use our existing one?
they called me today, say im eligible for a free upgrade. as i asked questions, i learned of this new 'combobox'. i thought it was weird that they need to ask if i want the upgrade, so i asked why wouldn't anyone want it? anything hidden? and thats when i learned that they may not like the router. and so it brought me to this post.
plan would be 800mbps -> 1gbit plan. i am very certain the bottleneck isn't going to be local 99.99% the time. LAN being 1gbit, why would i need 2.5gbit lan port? can we actually purchase our own ONU or ONT wahtever its called?
Well, 1gig Lan port = 940Mbps in the real world
2.5gig Lan port can help you extract that last 60Mbps or so for a true 1gig
But yes, the bottleneck will mostly be in international routing
Own ONU/ONT, not supposed to replace on your own, but the TS of this thread sells their own customized one
