Can I use my own router with BT Full Fibre?

The core technical path is PPPoE over Ethernet to the Openreach ONT. Hlonix labels this medium confidence because the clearest official BT third-party-router page found is for BT Business; consumer evidence is supplemented by BT Community and router-vendor guidance.

Why confidence is medium

The physical ONT and PPPoE pattern is well established, but Hlonix distinguishes official BT Business documentation from consumer community/vendor evidence rather than presenting them as the same authority.

Internet-only vs managed features

A router can establish the broadband session while Digital Voice or other provider services still depend on BT equipment.

Practical fallback

Keep the BT hub available. If a fault is raised, provider support may ask for the supported hub to be reconnected before investigating the line.
