I didn't mind the extra box and I have space on the wall to mount it. Rather pay $30 for an ONT (Telus wouldn't ship one to me) than spend hundreds on a switch that could negotiate with the GPON just to get Optik TV working.
Been meaning to replace the crappy WiFi Hub for a while now, so I'm pretty satisfied. Traffic (including Optik TV) routes properly through my pfSense VM to the rest of my LAN.
Next thing on my agenda is to buy a managed switch to segregate my devices into VLANs. But considering I just dropped quite a bit of money (I built an Unraid NAS) it'll have to wait.

That is an SFP ONT which the fiber plugs into?
With Telus you can’t go over gigabit with the full sized Nokia ONT, only SFP ONT, both are by Nokia. The T3200 also isn’t capable of over about 1.2GB. You either need the TWH or BoostV2
I’m using 2 of the BV2 right now, they are actually excellent. Huge step up from my wifi5 netgear nightjawk I just returned to Costco lol. Telus designed and built both the TWH and BV2 in house. And as a result the GUI is extremely limited
