Airtel Fiber - Nokia G-2425G-A or ZTE F670L ?

Dunno about the ZTE, but given a choice I'd choose the Nokia. Caveat - switch it to bridge mode and use a router of your own. ISP ONTs are very basic in functionality and performance.

@SYKE my friend has a hathway connection with F670L and they provided F670Lv1.0 but airtel provides F670Lv9.0

well bad news
some of my friend reported that airtel just updated the zte firmware some times back today and it also locked it

I have ZTE F670L v9 and many features are locked. But range is good. My question how to enable Telnet on it went unanswered on this forum.
whatever you get or decide ask Airtel NOC to put it in bridge and use ur own quality router to front end WAN if need be
Finally it all depends upon your requirement and interest. Some users are simply happy with just the Internet, if that's you, ZTE is good.

the 9.0 is very new and there aren't many exploits yet for it. the older firmware had exploits which allowed you to decrypt the config file.

i don't remember being able to get telnet working (currently on ZyXEL ONU) but i think it could be somewhere in the "services" section
