Do I understand correctly that Bell notified that they are shutting down the copper line, which means no more TekSavvy DSL, and are replacing it with FTTH (Fibre to the home), hence your mention of HH4000? Yes, PPPoE pass through on HH4000 is a thing that works. You might need to call Bell tech support (good luck!) for them to toggle some "switch" to enable that. I've heard that from two separate people who are savvy enough, yet I see comments on Ubiquiti forums that this was on by default. YMMV. As much as I love TekSavvy as a company, I'd much prefer to be in your situation. I get very crappy DSL at my place and GPON would go a long way in making my life better.

Hi, Bell notified me that they will soon be shutting down my copper telephone service, no options. My DSL to TekSavvy will go with it. Joy.
I run my own NAT/mail/vpn server firewall and I want to keep it. Apparently, others have been able connect to Bell by turning on PPPoE pass through on the Bell (HH4000) modem.
Has anyone on the list gone this route? Is Bell still dreadful, even on fibre? Am I crazy to look at Rogers?
PS: I pay ~$40/Mo for landline, which looks to increase to $52 after the change! Robbers!
