Hello,
Just a quick question. Does the ONT have to be wall mounted? Is it possible to have it lying on top of a table or on a rack?
Thanks.

I would say ‘yes’ … this holds it in place, and therefore reduces movement to the fibre and connector.

My (altnet) ONT is sat on a table next to the router. I think OR like to wall mount them though.

I suspect as long as the ONT is "fixed" in some manner, it should be okay. I doubt if it's just lying loose would be a good idea.

How are the ONTs mounted to the wall? drill and wall plug? adhesive?

Mine is hooked onto two screws on the wall. There were mounting holes on the back plate of the ONT

I don’t got one, but that is how they fix to the wall.

My (altnet) ONT is sat on a table next to the router. I think OR like to wall mount them though. Is it a separate ONT converting fibre to ethernet, or is it similar to Nexfibre where the end user router takes the fibre directly in from the wall?

Well, if 'Kowboy Communication' are involved, the wall will be peppered with holes which are filled with red plasiplugs, some of which might be suitable to attach the ONT.

In my case it's a separate ONT (Adtran SDX611), which I have then connected to my own router with cat 6.

My recently instralled ONT is fixed to the wall adjacent to the old phone socket. For my installation, that was the best place. My router was already nearby.
So in my case this is not materially different to what went before.
Before: Router via DSL cable to splitter to phone socket
After: Router via Ethernet cable to (fixed) ONT Ethernet port.
The only extra: a mains outlet to power the ONT (and it so happens, that was already there).
