New Gig2 client: Hub 5 or Hub 5x?

Join then cancel if it don't do modem mode its the only way VM will listen 

coax all the way till modem mode on  full fibre 

You'll get a hub 5X. Modem mode should be coming later this year I hear.

It was going to be later last year as well. 😉

Many thanks for all your answer, is there any chance of having Gig2 with a Hub 5 (not 5x)?

And last question, do you know what type of cable is used in the Hub 5x: SC/APC or LC/APC?

So whats stop anyone doing this?

XGS-PON to SFP+

I can’t really answer your question but I do get the impression that VM’s version of XG-PON FTTP doesn’t have an ONT (which I believe would allow you to relocate the router by using a longer Ethernet cable) - it looks very similar to a standard VM install in that there is an external box and an internal wall socket where the fibre enters, but looks like the fibre just connects to the router from that socket.

You must have an ONT for FTTP, and in the case of VM's XGS-PON the hub 5X is provided which is a combined ONT and router. This differs from VM's other FTTP known as RFoG which has a separate ONT that is fitted to the exterior wall.
