Last time I was with them I was on one of the redflagdeals “pm this dude and he’ll hook you up” deals, so I had the modem rental discounted, but their official position is they don’t support direct fibre to customer equipment. The guy told me they obviously can’t stop you from plugging your sfp gpon into a dream machine pro if you have one, and it would work, but only if you have the 1gig plan. For 1.5 and above they were using xgspon and you need telus equipment as a bridge to the dream machine as they won’t let it direct connect (or at least, wouldn’t at the time). Either way, their official position was they had to leave the telus equipment with the customer and set up, and whatever you did after that was on you (but you got the privilege of paying for the gear either way).
