Are you on the new GigaHub? You can get around it, but you need to purchase a specific SPON ... Module? Adapter? I don't know the right term. You can plug the fiber right into that and then plug the SPON into a SPF(+?) port on your router or use a media adapter for RJ45.

There's a discord (yes, I know, sorry. Its the only place I know to discuss this) for doing this with Bell's equipment. Theres a FAQ there that will find the exact SPON you need based on your service level and where you are in the country. Send me a message if you're interested in the Discord link.

Long story short, its way bigger of a hassle than it should be, and fuck Bell. As soon as Tek Savvy can resell their fiber lines, I'm switching back.

Save us CTRC, you're our only hope.
