I'd like to throw away my ISP's media converter, and use my home-lab PC as the internet gateway instead. To do so, I'll need a NIC that works with a 2.5G GPON OLT SFP Module.
There is a video on YouTube showing this exact setup, achieved by "Chelsio 110-1146-40 T420-CR T420". I'm sure there are others (maybe better) NICs for a stable 2.5G ISP connection. Hopefully, someone on STH has experience with connecting their ISP's fiber optic cable directly to a home server, and can recommend the right NIC for doing that.
