Am moving soon to an area where internet is only supplied by CL. Their current DSL is 1.5M (it's an island, it's very rural). Folks on the island tell me that fiber is being installed - yet no one at CL can tell me about the ETA. Plan would then be 20M, way better than the 1.5 but nothing like what I get from Comcast. I assume that the fiber is not coming to the house, so there will not be a connector in the house to move from fiber to ethernet, etc.
I'd like to buy just a modem (I have a router that I want to continue to use). When I was able to reach someone to talk to they said I need a modem that has GPON. and gave me this link: https://goo.gl/GCyFqM Tech recommended ActionTec, Technicolor and Zyxel. All seem to have router built in.
What would you recommend? Don't want to spend a lot but also don't want the cheapest. If I have to get a modem/router I assume I can disable the router part and pass through (bridge?) to my router? Do I need one that is bonded? (Even though I've only got a vague idea about "bonded" I'd rather get more than I need to use in the future than not).
Currently I'm leaning towards the Zyxel C3000Z as it seems to have the most options but can't find it for sale anywhere. That leaves possibly the Zyxel C2100Z: https://goo.gl/snw2D9.
My current router is Linksys WRT1900AC V2.
TIA!
