Personally I think they should ideally have SFP+, but even better would be for VM to allow people to use their own modems like US cable ISPs do.

I remember looking at the time and there were 2.5Gbps Arris ones available from Germany. However, given the lead time on rebranding them and ordering process etc plus additional cost then LG probably wouldn't have bothered.
I am still half tempted to try and import one, but confirming that cloning the MAC would work as well as T&Cs is still prohibitive.
Same they don't do a business version that consumer could upgrade to which as you say could include SFP+ and solve all the problems easily for those that would pay a little bit more on a one off cost.
