Upgrading to PureFibre X Internet 3G

I currently have PureFibre Internet Gigabit and my contract is coming up for renewal. I've received an offer to upgrade to PureFibre X Internet 3G for $120/month on a 2-year term and I'm seriously considering it, but I have a few technical questions before committing.

I have a Nokia ONT installed in my home, which connects directly to my Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra. My main concern is whether upgrading to the 3G plan would require a technician visit to replace any equipment — ideally I'd like this to be a seamless, remote upgrade.

Specifically: is the Nokia ONT capable of supporting a 3 Gbps connection, or would it need to be swapped out for a newer unit to handle the higher speeds?

Thanks in advance!

    Depends which version it is. The older Nokia ONTs didn't handle 3gbps. If it's this one, it "supports a line rate of 2.5 Gb/s downstream and 1.25 Gb/s upstream". In that case a tech would have to come out with new hardware.
