1.5 GB Fibre and ONT
I recently upgraded from 1.0 to 1.5 GB Fibre. I have the the acatel G-240 G-A ONT. From what I read on the inter webs is that Data Port 1 is only a 10/100/1000 Port. Can anyone confirm or deny t...

Ok so after doing some digging here is what I found:
- The Nokia\Acatel Onts are capable of multi speeds but the LAN port is limited to 10/100/1000
- The NH20A accepts a fibre connection and has a 10GB port that can be placed into bridge mode once fibre is attached otherwise it is the WAN Port.
In My situation I was running two routers with public IPs, in typical fashion as described all over this forum. ONT -> Switch -> NH20A and XR1000 Routers. Everything was fine until I upgraded to 1.5GBs. At this point this no longer worked as it was bottle necked at the LAN port 1 of the ONT. I thought I might get new hardware to support those speeds but was assured by Telus I had the newest gear. After many phone calls to Telus technical support and absolutely Zero help from them(they literally had no idea) and digging in this Forum I realized that the only solution was to have the fibre come directly into the NH20 and Bridge the 10GBs port and hook my XR1000 into it.
For anyone not getting max speeds on anything over 1GBs this is a very viable solution. Running speeds tests on two different PCs at the same time I was averaging about 1.7 GB/s which I am very pleased with. My house hold normal traffic and server is free to do as they please and it will not in any way interfere or cause buffer bloat on my gaming network.
