Re: Broadband fibre optic modem.
Don't understand the question. You can only get a fibre modem(ONT) by ordering an FTTP service if it is available to you.
If you are currently using a router, what broadband service do you have and how is it currently connected?

Re: Broadband fibre optic modem.
Hi,
I’m using BT super fast broadband and the provided WiFi router. Thing is I want to use my google WiFi in conjunction with a modem. I’m not using FFTP.
Cheers.

Re: Broadband fibre optic modem.
Then your options are quite limited. Either a second hand Huawei HG612 Openreach modem from ebay or a Draytek Vigor 130 or 166 modem from the usual sources. There are also various Zyxel modem/routers that can be configured in bridge mode. There is nothing you can purchase from BT.

The confusion was 'fibre optic modem'. It's not a fibre modem you need, it is a VDSL modem.

Re: Broadband fibre optic modem.
Yes, you haven't got fibre. The only fibre is to the green cabinet, not your house unless you FTTP.
