New customer and so far SUPER happy with the service. I also found out about this forum and learned a lot. Super cool that the CEO goes around answering people's questions and is actually pretty technically adept.
Lucky enough that the area I moved into had 10gbps offering. Sadly there is not too much hardware out there that supports 10 gbps.
My questions are:
1. Can I bypass the ONT? I have a firewall with SFP cards, can I not just use that directly if it can support 10 gig? Does the ONT do anything else other than convert media?
2. The current ONT thats been provided has one 10GBE port and one 1 GBE port.. If I plugin one device into each, will they both get an address? Or is it only one at a time? Could I plugin two different firewalls?
3. Anyone have suggestions for 10gig hardware?
