I am not trying the bridge mode stunt at home right now...for if anything blows Up in the onu, which I am sure will one day considering how it’s built, I will be marooned forever. The service here is so slow and poor that they take 6months time to fix it in normal days, I do not even want to know what will happen during a pandemic 😛

Well, if you put in the bridge mode, you're saving the crap ONT from routing processing related tasks, so you'd be reducing processing and therefore heat, which in turn will extend its crap lifespan.
 
@Dark_Nate I completely agree with you on that, but I am scared that considering my lack of technical knowhow in this matter what if the ONT pulls a Kanika Kapoor on me, even the doctors won’t come to my rescue 😛 So I am living by the lines of 3idiots movie “Jaisa chal raha hai chalne de” for now.
btw any suggestions for a good onu/ont which can be purchased in India ? price is not an issue. I saw a couple of posts from a few members here buying these Huawei ones and shipping them from China.

I'd recommend ONU from ubiquiti. They are available from Communication Network Solutions | Multilink Online . However, they'll go out of stack within a few days of arrival. Please make sure to enable email notification on each product page so that you can purchase it when the product becomes available. They have some limitations. So, please check if it meets your requirements before making the decision as they are really costly. They regularly update their firmware and have excellent UI to manage the device and network.
 

@vignesh_venkatesan Funnily enough, Shillong is a small place with a piss-weak economy, but all ISPs here including local ones are using GPON.
Only one ISP is using GEPON; that is NELine.

You'd expect to see GPON in metropolitan cities more often, but weirdly that isn't the case.
