Has anybody been able to successfully enable bridge mode on Reliance Jio Fiber's ONT?

[Dark_Nate]

I'm interested in getting Jio Fiber, for load balancing purpose with my current BSNL FTTH connection.

But of course, that wouldn't work unless I could use Jio Fiber in bridg mode.

BSNL FTTH is working perfectly fine in bridge mode on my own ONT, which I bought myself.

Probably not, but it wouldn't stop you from having it as a failover or load balancing connection. You'd just have one more NAT layer for that link.

Jio Fiber is already using CGNAT. Without bridge mode, I'd run into unnecessary latency and issues.

Jio FTTH is not for advanced users who like to do port forwarding or any advanced router functions like run custom scripts. If BSNL is not using CG-NAT, just stick to it. Ideally, most ISPs worldwide, put you back on Dynamic IP address if you make a formal written or email request asking. You just have to mention them a valid reason like access to remote desktop or home CCTV cameras for security.

It wouldn't really introduce any significant additional latency, maybe a millisecond or two max.

For normal web related activities, it should work alright.

Also, unless you have a lot of client devices, the load balancing may not be that effective.

I do use Jio 4G as a backup WAN, BSNL being the primary. Been working great for a while now.

I asked Jio Fiber office in my location. They don't have any information regarding Dynamic IP address nor private for that matter.
Any ideas why Jio FTTH puts so many restrictions?

And yeah, BSNL is not using CGNAT. One advantage of BSNL is you can get information regarding their networking setup if you ask. I learned a lot about where their gateways are located simply by asking the NIB guy in my state.
BSNL practices net neutrality too. There's no unfair throttling.
But their overall throughput is shit. That's why customers get the slow speed and high latency.

BSNL FTTH is slow in my state due to lack of bandwidth in the exchange. The maximum throughput is only 27 Gbps. This includes cell one, FTTH, DSL, everything else. 27 Gbps = 50 Mbps speed for only 552 customers.

BSNL has over 10,000 customers in my state. No wonder, the speed and latency is trash.

May I know which state you are living in?

@Dark_Nate That depends on area , my nib has dual 100gbps backhaul to their cloud network. And they are commissioning Facebook cache server with 20+ 20 Gbps nearest cloud

They have given us 1gig uplink for our olt , and constantly monitoring usage, if we hit 80% threshold they will give another 1 gig or 10gig
