take advantage of my new 1.5 gig service
I am wondering what the right path is to take advantage of this new enhanced service I was offered at my renewal. both short term and long term. I was told the only required step was to wait 10 ...

Indeed you are correct, however, the original question was related to utilizing and working with the 1.5Gbps service with the T3200M Telus supplied router/modem.
Now, you have raised the question of how to do this perhaps in a different hardware upgrade. This process is indeed possible, and preferable to just slapping a Gpon into a pfSense router, and kludging that system working.
This method entails having Telus upgrade your router to either the Arcadyan NH20A Router, or the Nokia XS-250XA.
Both of these devices have a 10Gbps output port that you can indeed connect to another 10Gbps device, and have your full bandwidth utilization.

This is possible to achieve with a little configuration... The following link to the video will help to guide you through the process... Cheers.

This was helpful thank you. I would rather not use a hacked NIC/driver in a security appliance. Is there not a telus supplied media converter that can take this GPON and output 10GigE? I saw a pic of a nokia device on another thread elsewhere that was in front of the telus network hub, it seems to me that this is all I need.

- mervincm4 years agoOrganizerIdeally I would be able to pop the gpon straight into my pfsense WAN NIC. Since that isn’t possible, I will still keep my pfsense router and upgrade its NIC to 10gig. What I would want from Telus would need to have a bridge mode for the 10g port. If it had some 1gig ports that I could not bridge, that would be a bonus. I have a tech coming on Friday as despite my best efforts, and multiple hours with support, I can’t seem to get more than about 950 dl (single device or aggregate of multiple) despite my bump from 1gig to 1.5g. Hopefully he has these options available for me.
