Question regarding the NH20A 10gb port

Just upgraded my internet speed from 1gb to 3gb. I have a 5gb port on my pc so realistically I want to take advantage of it even though it may or may not even make or notice a difference.  My questi...

Does the ONT actually say Nokia on it? The old Nokia ONTs, like the one I have for my 1gbps fibre, don't support 3gbps. There may be newer ones but as far as I was aware, they weren't including separate ONTs for the higher speed connections. (ie higher than 1.5gbps). Normally if the NAH / NH20A is installed (the only gateway I know of with a 10gbps port), the fibre is connected into it directly instead of having a separate ONT. If the ONT and the NH20A are in the same place, it's odd that the fibre wasn't just connected to the NH20A directly.

Out of curiosity, do you have all of the following devices installed currently?

    I currently have this in my garage cabling a little messy but that’s how they installed it. When I first had it it was the Nokia ont + the old trashcan network hub forgot the model. When I renewed 3-4 years ago I fought for the wifi 6 booster and ended up with 2 since my wifi signal doesn’t reach upstairs for whatever reason and vice versa. I think that’s when they replaced the trashcan with the nh20a.. I’m assuming this is the lazy simple way of just making it work without any provisioning the sfp module etc.. they are coming to replace my wifi 6 with wifi 7 and I’m going to assume they are going to take away the Nokia ont and just stick the fiber directly into the network hub then? 
    My next question would be I’m planning on replacing the old coax line they installed outside and drilled into the 2 room with cat 6 cables using the same holes. To get the 2 jacks working do I simply with up to 10gb do I simply just connect a switch from the 10gb port on the nh20a and then connect the 2 line i pulled outside and plug my 2 wifi routers to it? Prolly only need to pull 1 line if they just give me a 2.5 moca but don’t hold my breath
