Sounds good 👍. Hope they work out well for you. It’s hard to tell exactly but I think they may be a PtP network, rather than PoN. But there’s scant info out there. What sort of box (make/model) is on the wall.

Their peering arrangements look quite minimal. As far as I can see it’s just a single 1 Gbps connection on LONAP. That will have to change as they bring more subscribers on board

What about Truespeed? All their packages offer the same speed up and down and up to 900Mbps.

So does Vodafone on the Cityfibre network, but that's GPON.

They look PtP - read something dated 2019-ish on ISPreview about them connecting folks via 10Gbps SFP+ using DKT gear.

Indeed. There's several other providers offering symmetric 1 Gbps (and higher) symmetric services on XGS-PON based nets.

Some variants of the "DKT Gateway" are GPON, and some not:

Make and model....there isn't anything apart from a surface mounted white box - normal single gang size but very shallow. From the bottom of that box a length of very thin cable (fibre?) goes across to the supplied WiFi HALNy router which, given the length of cable (currently coiled up), presumably could be sited within about a 3 meter distance of the box. Apart from the power supply, that is it.

I do know Quantum are involved with Fixed Wireless internet tech around these parts already - bit like another local company - Quickline. As such I'd imagine their network would be fairly robust already. Certainly yesterday and today the connection has sailed along. The only info I've seen was here As you say hopefully things work out well.

The box on the wall could just contain a splice or fibre connector from external to internal. Doesn’t sound like it’s active (has power running to it).

Is this the HALNy WiFi router you have?

(That’s an all in one GPON ONT and WiFi router)

That's it smile There is no power running to the box on the wall, only the WiFi router has the usual power adapter.
