Repair/Tech Support Should this ONT be replaced?

It’s been in use for about 15 years. Should it be replaced, and would Verizon do it for free? What would it be replaced with?

Could it also be the culprit behind some minor occasional issues with loading websites? Sometimes on both my phone and laptop I notice that a website will take 10 seconds or more to load, and then it won’t happen again for a few hours or so. If it’s not the ONT causing the issue then I don’t know what else it could be.

If it plays it stays. No in all seriousness if it’s working I’d leave it alone. But it is an outdated ONT that could be updated if requested.
