Nokia G-040G-B GPON ONT Modem FTTP 4-Port

I have two BB Providers: BT Business & Plusnet for private work. What are the likely issues in configuring this modem for both Providers. eg they are on separate FTTP contracts so I will get the indented speeds on the relevant Ports?

Remember that the Nokia G040g-b unit has a 1 gigbabit presentation on the ethernet ports.

Also that gpon is 2.5gbit/1.25gbit shared service so just you now have, will continue to be managed.

The problem you will have is difficulty changing service providers as many are not setup for multiple fttp ports going to one property.

I always think that having two separate ONT's is the safer option as there is then no restriction via the backplane of the ONT

Totally agree especially the mass ISP providers

Not sure if the G040g-b can do 1gb simutaniously on two ports. In theory they should as they are virtual paths.

Two separately ONT's with two different ISPs are the best way if one of it failover.

There was a backplane limit of 1Gb on some of the earlier 4 port ONT's which created an overall throughput limit across all 4 ports, hopefully this version doesn't have that issue.

hopefully it doesn't .. if it does then the 4port x10gbit one when they do release one (besides being very expensive) would be a worry.

anyways i don't think we have seen any TBBers or Ispreview having an unit

Don't think OR have Multi ONT 2.5Gbps Lan yet?

Exactly, nor does nokia i think

Thanks for the comments - is any one using this modem? One or more versions are suggested. What is the Serial No, Rev no and/or Manufacture date that works? Thanks
