Faulty ONT AGAIN and NO feedback from Metrofibre ater 3 days!

I am currently experiencing intermittent fibre outages which I have clearly isolated to the ONT device. The PON light remains stable and LOS is off, but the LAN light drops completely during the outage, indicating a physical link failure on the ONT.

I have replaced cables, tested multiple routers, and performed firmware updates — the issue persists regardless of equipment used, confirming this is not on my side.

This is particularly frustrating as the ONT was already replaced about 3 months ago due to a known faulty batch. At that time, it took 8 days to resolve. I have now logged this fault again and it has already been 3 days with no feedback or progress.

Given that the ONT is clearly failing again, I expect this to be escalated urgently and replaced without unnecessary troubleshooting delays.
