So am I correct in assuming that unless you go >100Mb, and other than the N router to replace the G router, there isn’t anything beneficial?
It's much smaller J
Other than that, I don't know of anything else. I don't use their router anyway.
It's my educated guess that much of Verizon's initially FTTH deployment used
BPON, and that access gear didn't (and probably will never) support IPv6.
So to get IPv6 they need to move the customer to a GPON-enabled access
shelf, which apparently requires a new ONT because their initial ONTs were
BPON only.

My second educated guess is that those initial (BPON) ONTs only supported
FastE client interface(s), and that Verizon's new (GPON) ONTs support GigE
client interfaces.
