ONT Upgrade

dexman

I've been a Fios subscriber for over 10 years. Very few problems during this time and issues have been resolved in short order.

Currently I'm running 75/75 for Internet speed. The ONT is a Tellabs 611.

I recently read that the 611 tops out 100/100. So, when the time comes that I decide to jump to higher speed, the ONT will need to be replaced.

What is Verizon installing these days when long time customers upgrade beyond 100/100?

We have all three services (POTS, TV & Internet).

I have our E3200s dually cabled (coax & Ethernet) for redundancy purposes.

Thank you for any insight/information. 🙂

Newer Fios installation uses Alcatel-Lucent I-211M-L as the ONT. This ONT is capable of GPON, gigabit ethernet, 2 POTs, and Coax.

When you order the speed upgrade, I don't think you can waive $99 fee for tech visit though.

Not advisable. This will create a layer 2 loop, which makes your network susceptible to broadcast/multicast flooding.
