Thanks everyone for all the replies. I installed new ONT's and swapped out
failed ones when my employer made me fill in for a union on strike back in
2016. Most of those used MoCA - so coax not Ethernet. On the new service,
yes, I've been hoping the uplink is Ethernet so that I can use my Ubiquiti
router directly without needing the router provided by Spectrum. As of
2018 I live in Wisconsin in a neighborhood that until recently only had one
option, Frontier DSL. Frontier has been running fiber not far from home,
so maybe there will be 2 fiber options in my neighborhood soon.
On the question about why I'm currently relying on the provider's
modem/router, I figured I'd be out of DSL eventually, so I didn't want to
buy a throw-away DSL box, especially since the one they provided has a
pass-through mode that allows my Ubiquiti router to share the public IP
address.

If your getting fiber it is most likely GPON and you
will have an ONT with
an ethernet port. You should be able to use your own equipment connected
to the ethernet port.

Hello to those on the list.
Spectrum (formerly Charter) laid new fiber in my neighborhood and is
offering a pretty enticing deal, especially considering I'm on a vdsl based
service now. My current ISP has a router with a "pass-through" DMZ mode,
which I use to get protocol 4 to a Ubiquiti router that runs ampr-ripd.
Is there anyone on the list that is using a relatively new service from
Spectrum and is able to pass protocol 4 for amprnet?
Thanks and 73,
