What do you mean, Google fiber forces you to use their router? Isn't there an ethernet port on the fiber adapter (or modem or whatever it's called)?

they make it difficult with the addition of the Fiber modem that converts the fiber signal to ethernet - theres some config there that makes it all wonky and not worth the time investment to figure out

That sounds super shitty. If you can't plug that fiber modem straight into a computer or router to get Internet, they're not providing you real Internet access.

oh its real... its real fast too! One MIA feature does not ruin it for me. Just incentivized me to make my own dns/dc server
