Re: Sign in page not working.
If you've been moved from the legacy DOCSIS network to XGS-PON, I don't think VM has yet sorted out how to do this programmatically, so your new contract has to manually amended to get it corrected. Hopefully the manager will be able to resolved this for you.8Views0likes0CommentsRe: A theory as to why VM does not have modem mode on hub 5x
There would be no problem if VM has a separate ONT for XGS-PON as it has for RFoG as the user simply connects their own router. However the hub 5X, a combined ONT/router, causes problems as, being designed as a single, unified computing platform, means you can't just disable routing functions whilst maintaining full PON functionality to implement a "modem mode". Nobody else in the UK provides a combined ONT/router, and whilst some foreign ISPs do, e.g. AT&T with its BGW320, none of them has a modem mode. When VM wholesales its network (called NetCo) the hub 5X will be rebranded for ISPs, and ISPs will do the selling, support and billing. So, why did VM go for the hub 5X? It's because all previous hubs combined the modem and router in one box, so VM's gone for consistency. Unless there is a big stink about loss of modem mode by ISPs (in which case VM can develop a separate ONT), I can't see VM doing anything about it.15Views0likes0Comments
