[H-GEN] Moved from ADSL to fibre, need help.

[Scott Wilson]

David,

You'll most likely need some sort of "proper" ethernet router - I picked up
the DGND3700 in preparation for the NBN. Gigabit, 802.11n.

What sort of ONT/NTD do telstra give you? manufacturer/etc? I'm curious in
a professional sense, as i've been working for NBNCo since September.
