Nokia Phone Modem in front of Telus Hub

Hello,

Telus installed our home phone today. The tech unplugged the fiber from the Fiber Hub plugged it into a Nokia box and connected the Nokia box to the Fiber Hub using a CAT5 cable. So the Fiber Hub is now a copper hub.

What is the value in doing this when the Telus Fiber Hub has a phone jack in and it negatively impacts internet speeds that I receive?

    Because, although the hub has a phone jack, it is not active, so the Nokia ONT must be used.

    What internet speed are you getting that cannot be transmitted at Gigabit speeds over ethernet?
