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.
If you find a post useful, please give the author a "Kudo", or mark as "Solution", if it solves your problem, thank you very much.

Ideally 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.
I forgot to follow up. Indeed my service was provisioned incorrectly. The on-site visit was required. They gave me a NH20A and reprovisioned 1.5gbps I was then functioning correctly.
