In this case, I think we're talking about a box with router and a bunch
of other stuff, to deal with incoming GPON (can this part still be
called modem, or the workings of fiber disqualify that?) and at least
outgoing coax for TV, RJ11 for telephony and 8p8c for Ethernet.

I've seen these called "ONT", but it seems (from another thread here)
that this may not be entirely appropriate either?
