    Where am I supposed to get a 10Gb modem for residential use?

    There are a few routers that have SFP+ slots so you can modulate to any laser signal your provider might require.

    • FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro
    • Zyxel AX7501
    • TP-Link Deco BE85

    Otherwise if you’re looking for strictly only a modem there are various available. They are usually simply called fiber to ethernet converter. Startek, Delock, Trendnet, FS

    If you meant a switch, well 10G switches are abundant. Zyxel, Netgear, TP-Link all the usual suspects.

      Even with the sfp+ ports some providers make not using their provided modem a real headache. (Looking at att)

        In my experience that’s usually the case for XG-PON and XGS-PON networks. Because you’re sharing one port on the OLT with up to 63 neighbours. Though I think most build outs aim for 16 or 32 splits.

        Anyway they don’t want to risk you sending when it’s not your turn or disturbing your neighbours connection in any other way, they make you use their ONU. Basically the same old story like with the coax cable modems. Just because some idiot (or rather industry group of idiots) had to go and turn fiber back into a shared medium to save on cable and ports a bit.
