Being forced to used an ISPs fiber router can be frustrating, I hope we can get regulations to force BYO

Are some ONTs routers? Mine (Calix GigaPoint GP1100X) is not.

Yes. Several ISPs I've used sent out routers with integrated fiber connectors, no separate ONT. Their routers weren't terrible enough for me to want to replace them immediately, but not everybody gets a ONT+router combo from their ISP.

I think it's often more a "router with ONT built in" rather than an "ONT with router built in".
