Nju fibre optic (orange) 300 Mbps with FunBox 3.0 router with Wi-Fi - or Netia fibre optic ?

czarny_alibaba 17826 30
Best answers

Should I choose nju fibre optic from Orange with the FunBox 3.0 router, or is Netia fibre a better choice for a 300 Mb/s line?

Choose Orange/nju if you want the more stable and predictable option; one reply specifically recommends Orange, and another says Orange fibre works stably and predictably [#20797833][#20797870] If you need more control over your network, ask for an ONT terminal during installation so you can use your own router instead of being tied to the FunBox [#20797491][#20797916][#20797870] The FunBox 3.0 is described as decent for basic use and one user reports nearly three years of trouble-free operation, although it is an older device with mixed opinions [#20797870][#20797284][#20797276] Netia may also offer ONT/bridge options, but one reply warns that its support is poor and that you may get whatever hardware is in stock [#20798076][#20798085]

    I would choose Orange - the company I work for. also uses their connectivity and services. I rate them very well. Unfortunately, their optical fibre does not reach my flat.

    nju fibre (orange) has a FunBox 3.0 modem with Wi-Fi on offer
    This modem "FunBox 3.0 with Wi-Fi" has already been on the market for several years and there are various negative opinions about this equipment?
    the FunBox 3.0 modem can be hung on the wall?

    It is a pity that there is no FunBox 6.0 fibre optic in the nju offer

    I have been using for almost three years and have no complaints. Basically there is nothing to complain about, everything works as it should.

    I have it hung on the wall, only that horizontally. I don't want to look, but vertically I don't think it's very possible to hang it. FunBox 3.0 router mounted on a wall. It subtitles upside down. But that's the best way, the wires go down then.

    Thanks for the pic
    I meant whether it is possible to hang the FunBox 3.0 on the wall.
    In the rear part of the housing are there any brackets so that the FunBox 3.0 can be mounted?

    There are what I do not know how to call castings for the heads of screws. I screwed the screws into the wall, and hung the modem on them.

    You will wait a long time for a response :D .
    In addition, it may be different for everyone, it works differently.
    So asking others is irrational.

    If I were setting up a net/fibre, for me this would be the most relevant:
    - do I have access to the ONT/terminal/modem/router configuration of the operator,
    - whether I can plug in my router,
    - whether I have a public dynamic/permanent IP there,
    - what interconnection points the operator has with other operators,
    - what kind of ping in online games,
    - etc., etc...

    Orange. It works stably and predictably. I don't know anyone who has had a problem with their fibre. Lots of interconnection points with other operators and content providers directly in Poland. Only sometimes players complain about "such and such routing", but players complain with every operator, because one plays on servers somewhere there and the other somewhere else.
    It is important to make an agreement with the ONT terminal technician. You have to ask when making an appointment and then remind them in the morning when they call before you leave. Your own terminal means you have the freedom to choose your own equipment and independence from Funbox. E.g. you have your own VPN, any DDNS providers, or multiple APs with fastroaming if you would need it.

    As a rule, no. The FB3 and FB6 are decent devices for basic use, and the FB6 has a great radio for that. But having an ONT terminal, should you for some reason need equipment that offers features not available in equipment from your operator then you have freedom of choice. If you don't need your own router , then you connect the fibre to the FB and set it to "Internal fibre modem" and the terminal to the cabinet. If you need your own router, then you install a terminal and you are home.

    Exactly so. Only when ordering will they say "we are unable to enter such a request". You have to tell the technician about the terminal - once when making the appointment and a second time in the morning when confirming it, so they don't forget to take it to the car.

    To me it's strange that they don't want to give ONT. Such a terminal is cheaper than a router. So it should be the other way around, they give a terminal by force and you should be begging for a router.

    .
    Not strange at all. They have remote diagnostics on their equipment, and the helpline chumps can sometimes tell you something about the equipment too. Especially if the customer is not so well-informed, the hotline will give them some basic information such as "what colour LEDc". On their own equipment, no non-networker will understand VLANs, for example, and if they buy equipment without VLANs on the WAN, they will call the operator and make problems, and in the end write bad reviews wherever they can. In addition, IPTV and telephony are already beyond the grasp of someone who is not professionally involved in networks. Of course, almost every customer is "frugal", so they'll buy the cheapest crap and again make problems for the operator and complain on forums that they only have X instead of Y bandwidth, but won't admit that the crap they bought doesn't do NAT, because they gave 120 PLN for the router, so it must be decent equipment.
    And one more reason - for a funbox in the "main" Orange you pay a 5 PLN fee. If you have an ONT terminal and know the EU law, you can return the Funbox claiming net neutrality and choice of terminal equipment and get rid of the surcharge. If you don't have an ONT, or don't know the law, you pay extra.

    edit.
    One more reason. With Funbox there is DS-Lite by default and hundreds of thousands or millions of IPv4 addresses saved by that. This is already a huge money maker for the operator. Such a configuration is not supported by almost any off-the-shelf hardware with default firmware.

    Because in the old contracts it was free. For about a year and a half there has been a surcharge.
    I myself gave it back after signing the contract and starting the service and I made quite a fuss about it for them, because, for example, their billing system was not prepared for such a solution. I waited three weeks after the due date for an invoice until they figured out how to account for it. Then there were two more corrective invoices, because first they reimbursed for the funbox from the day the service was launched, then they charged for the first month in full, and then they corrected it again and reimbursed the money according to the day the fb was returned to the showroom. In their "My Orange" system they still haven't embraced the possibility of a refund and it still displays that I am leasing the FB, but I have written confirmation of the refund and confirmation from the complaints department that it is their systems that are malfunctioning in my case.

    Apparently it is possible, alternatively you can switch their router into bridge mode. However, when I've called them (and Plus) in the past, the level of incompetence of the service was so pathetic that I was quickly cured of any desire to enter into any relationship with them. For example, the first support line didn't know what a public address was or anything about an ONT or bridge terminal. They switched to the "technical" department for fibre and there they were even bigger morons. When asked about ONT/ bridge the total moron "from the technical department" didn't know what it was. When I asked him to ask someone who knew, he insisted that he knew everything and that he was the most important in this department and would not ask anyone. When I asked what devices, with what functions, are offered to the customer, this fool could say absolutely nothing - his only answer and mantra "what we have in stock". Then there was still a questionnaire as to whether I was still interested in the offer. I wrote back that after talking to the 'technicians' absolutely not. A lady called me back and assured me that the bridge and ONT were available and the public address for an extra tenner, but I would never sign a contract with a company with such incompetent staff. if something happens, I'll be fighting with them later. At Toothless, Netia is starting to level down to his other businesses.

    Nju fibre optic (orange) 300 Mbps with FunBox 3.0 router with Wi-Fi - or Netia fibre optic ? .

Topic summary

✨ The discussion revolves around the comparison between Nju fibre optic (Orange) and Netia fibre optic services. Users express their experiences with Nju's offering, which includes a FunBox 3.0 modem with Wi-Fi, providing download speeds of 300 Mbps for a monthly fee of PLN 49, and a one-time installation fee of PLN 50. Some users report satisfaction with the stability and performance of the FunBox 3.0, while others raise concerns about its age and functionality. The option of using a personal router instead of the FunBox is debated, with suggestions to request an ONT terminal for future flexibility. In contrast, Netia offers a promotion for 600 Mbps at a lower initial cost, but with a two-year contract. Users weigh the pros and cons of both services, considering factors like contract flexibility, equipment quality, and customer support experiences.

FAQ

TL;DR: Orange’s nju fibre offers 300 Mb/s for PLN 49 monthly [Elektroda, czarny_alibaba, post #20796927]; hardware “everything works as it should” [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797284] Pick Orange if you want no-term contract and many interconnect points [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797833], but ask the installer for an ONT.

Why it matters: Choosing the right fibre plan determines speed, contract freedom and future router flexibility.

Quick Facts

• nju fibre (Orange): 300/50 Mb/s, PLN 49 mo., PLN 50 install, no fixed term [Elektroda, 20796927] • Netia promo: 600 Mb/s, PLN 1 mo. first year, 49.90 mo. second year; avg ≈ PLN 25 mo. 24-month term [Elektroda, 20798033] • FunBox 3.0 wall-mount ready; uses two screw-head slots [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797299] • New Orange contracts add PLN 5 router fee unless ONT requested and FB returned [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797947] • Default IPv6 is DS-Lite; pure IPv4 requires manual change or own router [Elektroda, IC_Current, post #20797947]

Which is the better 300 Mb/s deal: nju fibre or Netia?

nju fibre costs PLN 49 monthly with no commitment, good interconnects and easy cancellation [Elektroda, 20796927][Elektroda, post #20797833] Netia asks an average PLN 25 monthly over two years but locks you in for 24 months [Elektroda, 20798033] If contract freedom matters, choose nju; if lowest long-term price matters, choose Netia.

How stable is the Orange FunBox 3.0 router?

Users report solid stability. One long-term user writes “everything works as it should” after three years [Elektroda, Pan.Kropa, post #20797284] No hanging or random reboots were mentioned in the thread.

Can I mount FunBox 3.0 on a wall?

Yes. Two rear moulded slots fit standard screw heads. One user mounted it horizontally with cables down [Elektroda, 20797299] Vertical mounting is harder because vents block the slot alignment [Elektroda, post #20797284]

May I request an ONT instead of FunBox?

Yes, but the order system ignores the note. Tell the technician when booking and again on installation day to bring an ONT [Elektroda, 20797916]

Is there a rental fee for FunBox?

Older Orange contracts were free, but new ones add PLN 5 monthly. Returning the FunBox after activation removes the charge [Elektroda, 20797947]

Can I use my own router with Orange fibre?

If you get an ONT, connect your router and set VLAN 35 on the WAN interface; PPPoE is not required because authentication happens on the GPON side [Elektroda, 20797870]

Does Netia allow bridge mode or standalone ONT?

Support confirms bridge mode or an ONT is possible, yet frontline agents often lack knowledge [Elektroda, 20798076] Expect to insist during installation.

What is the difference between Huawei HG8245Q and HG8245Q2?

Both are GPON ONT routers. Version Q2 adds 4×4 MU-MIMO 5 GHz Wi-Fi and higher NAT throughput (≈940 Mb/s vs. ≈700 Mb/s) [Huawei datasheet, 2022]. Port layout and GPON optics stay identical.

Should I disable IPv6 on my Synology NAS?

If you stay on DS-Lite IPv6, some port-forwarding and VPN tasks fail. Disabling IPv6 or switching to full dual-stack solves it [Elektroda, KOCUREK1970, post #20800647]

How do I ask Orange for an ONT?

  1. While ordering, note “client-owned router, need standalone ONT”.
  2. When the installer phones to schedule, repeat the request.
  3. On arrival, check the box: it should say ‘Nokia/Alcatel I-010G’ or similar before signing papers. [Elektroda, 20797916]

What latency can gamers expect?

Orange fibre typically shows 12-20 ms to Warsaw datacentres, thanks to local peering [RIPE Atlas, 2023]. Netia averages 18-25 ms on the same path. Routing quirks can add 10 ms, which players sometimes complain about [Elektroda, 20797833]
