Some claim this will work, others say it has problems and wont.
Let's say your default fiber setup is a Telus optical SFP transceiver attached to the T3200M/other.
Unplug the SFP and plug it into your own SFP capable router, or into a media converter and then a SFP to RJ45 and cat6 to your own non-SFP router, done. A few comments here and other places online claim it's as easy as that.
DrPackman here claims...
"TELUS installed the T3200M router/gateway on my system so the SFP module was already registered with TELUS. Pulled it from the router and install it in the USG Pro 4. That was it…"

But other people say it's not really possible for home residential use (my purpose)

Claiming outages every hour due to "non-standard implementation of ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)"
And then say that "Telus will enable ARP on a business service but will not on a residential service, so in that case you're stuck with the ActionTec modem" aka not possible to bypass for home.
Also a distant colleague claims he plugged the Telus SFP into his router but it didn't work until he changes the Mac address of the router and that telus SFP is locked to only a certain Mac address device "
"I have router with SFP module I take out (Telus) SFP module and insert in my router change mac address of router and it works but if you don't change mac address it will not work"
So these two problems mentioned are conflicting with the comments of other people saying it just works. If it works you'd think they'd mention in their posts they have mac issues and constant ARP network drops
