Yes, I know, they are a Calix SDN G-Pon network, so the black box will be a gigapoint 800gv2:

That is a G-Pon ONT, equivalent really to the RFoG fibre to coax adapter in a VM RFoG install.
As for using your own router, you should just need to set the VLAN to 911.
VM don't even answer the phone anymore heh.... And then when they do, they lie to you, change your package without consent, etc. I cannot wait to be far away from VM.
Still, I'm likely to take Zen on CF over Voda.
