Just got TW GPON installed, and I have to say I am extremely impressed with everything.
They arrived exactly at 11 AM, as promised. Started work immediately, the thicker fiber cable only came till the gate, and the drop cable used from the gate to the inside of the house was a much thinner drop cable. It was installed very neatly, clips/ducts were used wherever necessary.
The ONT they provided is a slightly newer model of the Huawei one that was given to other customers. It can't be wall mounted, so I found a really small table to put it on. The exact model number is the Huawei HG8425Q2, there is no info about it online, so I'll post a picture in a bit.
Once the cables were connected, the connection was active immediately unlike the whole day that I had to wait with PTCL. It was configured automatically and the ONT started working on the first boot. I asked about Static IP, and they said I had to call, which I did, and they said between 24-48 hours I'll get a call and an email from TES about Static IP activation. For now, I'm still under their CGN.
The guy tried running a few speedtests on his phone, but it wasn't going above 40 Mbps on 2.4GHz, but since this is a dual-band ONT, I told him to connect to the 5G band to test, and then tested again using ethernet, got the full 70 Mbps down and 70 up.
He checked optical power to make sure it was within normal ranges, did a few more tests, asked if I was satisfied and then proceeded again to check all the cabling outside and ask me if everything was okay about it.
Very professional guys, they did cut up a few cables, but unlike PTCL who just left them around, these guys cleaned up after themselves, had all of their own tools, and did a very neat job.
More to say when I've actually used it for downloading, streaming and gaming.
