Hub5x (Use SFP Module/Box etc) - Question for people smarter then me.

Hi All, 

Hoping for some guidance. I have had no end of issues with the Hub5x. I have put plenty of posts on this forum moaning about it for the past 12 months, so I won't bore you with that. But does anyone know if its possible to acquire some hardware that will act as an NTE for example that allows me to go from Fibre to CAT5, so I can use my own router. Without having the ability of Modem mode (And I don't want to double NAT), I don't know if anyone has explored this option and if its possible to plug the fibre direct into a little box or NTE that will then convert it to CAT5. Similar to what I used to have with BT. 

Online gaming is physically impossible for me due to no end of packet loss and latency issues. I have already had multiple engineers out gone through formal complaints and service desk. And the response is "your speeds are fine". The speed is not the issue, its the complete lack of "line quality" which is the problem.

Plenty of ONTs with 10 Gb port. Needed for the 8000 service from https://www.youfibre.com/ for instance.

Sure.

I've an Adtran 622v supplied by ISP as a separate unit and an Adtran 630 SFP+ module. The 622v has a 10GBase-T port the SFP+ is full 10 Gb rate.

Samknows shows normal, most of the time, but that aligns with the BQM. I have had 1 instance of SamKnows showing high latency and jitter and packet loss, but i would need to run Samknows about 100 times to "catch it in the act"
