I can only pray this births a ddwrt equivalent for fiber ONTs.

I’m caretaking for my parents who are on ATT fiber with their giant scary black box ONT, and am consistently paranoid of what it is attempting or is doing on their network. This would be a great way to gain more transparency in its operation and possibly open useful features.

But is this different from network equipment deployed somewhere, where you don't see it? There are AON networks that are just a PON behind the scenes but you don't see that.
