Which VDSL modem / router is likely to be suppliedChatting with my ISP and asked what modem /router they'd likely supply for their 25 / 10 service. Response was that it was Bell's decision, as I presume Bell is the one who handles that side of things (ISP isn't Bell)
Anyway, does anyone know what model / make it is likely to be, and got any links to specs / features, and would it be crippled by Bell, even though it's not direct from bell as such |

It's crippled by not just locked down features, but also by speeds in bridge mode if you happen to get 50/10 and want to use your own router... |

Thank you How exactly is it crippled, and can it be uncrippled (if that is such a term!) and if so is there a real advantage in doing so? |

I haven't heard anybody "un-crippled" it.
Well I had a few issues... like DMZ or portforwarding seems broken... also bridge mode seems limited to around 35mbps. |

Typical Bell bullshit. And to think, I was ever so excited at the prospect of FTTN. Well lucky enough, I'm on a 7330 slam... So I got a cheap VDSL2 modem (Huawei HG610) and it works great. |

I'll probably do the exact same thing and eat the $5/month or whatever it is just to not have to deal with a piece of shit for a modem. |

Anyone know the max performance of the Cellpipe 7130 in bridge mode? Does it matter what DSLAM it is connected to?
It works fine at 25 Mbps on a Stinger but I'm curious as to how well it would support 50 Mbps. |

That's a fake HG610, and probably isn't even capable of VDSL2. On the back it says ADSL, no RoHS, CE, and C-UL-US certification either. A real one looks like this, |

How is $61 CAD too expensive? These are VDSL modems, not ADSL2+ that are over a decade old. Compared to $130 for the Sagemcoms, 61 is a steal. |
