One issue I have with Bell Fibe is the new HomeHub 4000 hardware is mandatory, and the GPON optic is not removable (the one in the HH 3000 is).
I'm not exactly enamoured at having to use Bell's hardware (though I'm sure it gets the job done for most people).
- mardifoufs 4y agoI think you can still get the HH3000 if you manage to escalate a request past the first layers of consumer support. I also heard about buying special optics that you can completely set up to mimic the original bell GPON, down to the SN but those are expensive. It's so weird to "downgrade" such a useful feature (that does not even hurt any other part of their business, and only serve to make 1.5gbps+ speeds more attractive for those who would actually need that much speed), but hey it's still bell after all
