isp's in Ontario

The ONT can sync 2.5G in case you wanted to spend some money on a marginal speed increase you likely will not notice, but heat you will notice.

Yes I know, but that means I have to buy a UDM-Pro-Max :ROFLMAO:

The Wiitek SFP-10G-T-X module I'm using for the Rogers modem isn't too toasty though, reads as 37C. The v1 Mikrotik burns my fingertips, but I don't use it anymore.

I'll toss it here, swapped over to Distributel today. Pretty seamless as I had Bell Fiber anyways (cancellation date was today to coincide). Bell guy installed the Nokia ONT. The Distributel router (TP-Link Deco X50) is somehow ISP managed, it took a long time to boot and pull config. The Bell guy did stick around for that as it seemed it was part of his job. I obviously have removed it though and plugged the Nokia ONT into my UDM-Pro, tagged with VLAN40, entered in the PPPoE creds and all back to normal :)

Much smaller than the HomeHub/GigaHub since it's really just a media convertor:

I only have it plugged into a 1G interface, so speeds are effectively capped at 940Mbps. The upload speed may be a bit higher as usually on Bell it was under 800Mbps but technically its 750Mbps as the advertised speed. Either way, no discernible difference.

The Bell guy did mention he's been doing a lot of these installs lately lol

FYI, Distributel is $50 for 1Gbps, or $35 for 500Mbps for 2 years if you chat/call. Apparently some are successful in getting another $5 off by calling loyalty after install.

I'm an oddball with dual WAN setup though, but I went from Bell 1G + Start 15M for $240+HST, to now Distributel 1G + Rogers 1.5G for $190+HST. TV included, with a couple theme packs on Rogers side now as their Popular has less than Bell's Better package. Either way, $50 less a month and close to 3Gbps total Internet capacity as Rogers is way overprovisioned at 1.9G :)

I am wondering why you need or want two ISP ???, I used to do the same because my Rogers 500/50 would drop out all the time so I had Bell Fibe at 50/10, once we bought our house I was able to get Bell Fiber which has not seen a second of downtime since installation almost 3 years ago, so I never got a second ISP since my bell is solid as a rock

"Dark" TV is basically the same price as having Internet, so why not :) Plus I have all this network gear to use!

If Rogers had upgraded my area to 150Mbps upload, I probably would have been less inclined, but 50Mbps is pretty lame.
 
Why does ubiquiti hate multi-gig internet? You'd think that (at the very least) devices with multi-gig wan ports would have a minimum of at least one multi-gig lan port that you could plug a switch into.

Does it at least have a multi-gig "backplane" (apparently not the correct term) which allows the 1G ports to use the extra bandwidth?
 
The 2x 10G SFP+ interfaces is what any sort of "business" would use to uplink to switches or >2.5Gbps WAN. I don't think 10G RJ45 is that common. SFP+ ports are also a lot cheaper, and getting an adapter isn't that big a deal if you do need 10G RJ45 ports.

And no, the SoC used in these only has a 1G backplane. The built-in switch is mostly pointless to me, but again, for a business I guess you could plug your VoIP phones or security cameras into it (though PoE only exists on the UDM Pro SE).

My "stack" consists of UDM Pro Max > USW Enterprise 24 PoE > ES-16-XG.

I'm not even going to bother haggling with them. Distributel and Primus seems to be about the same price for their 500Mb service. Oh well the gigabit life was fun while it lasted.
