Kansas City Google Fiber customer here and I have been tinkering with Ubiquiti for a bit as a hobby. I replaced the crumby Network Box with an EdgeRouter 4 from Ubiquiti and I got it chooching to 970 down/up. The EdgeRouter 4 has an SFP 1g port and I was thinking how great it would be to put in a transceiver and terminate the fiber myself. I've read that Google uses the Fiber Jack terminating as both a Fiber-to-Copper ONT and a 'hop' for 802.1x authentication. The latter has been harder to get information on, but the former can be done by a cheapie cheap SFP transceiver module plugged. Can anyone with experience in this point me towards an answer? I'd love to get rid of that awkward and hot Fiber Jack.

I work at an ISP that supplies gigabit internet over GPON (Not in the US). While I can't say with any certainty what Google's policies are, I highly doubt Google would be supportive of you messing with their equipment/network. We do not appreciate it when our customers mess with the ONTs. They’re designed to be left alone, and don’t have any customer accessible config. To the customer the ONTs act as dumb bridges to hook their routers up to, but on the back end they are doing a bit more. Just a few examples: We can identify on our end where traffic is coming from based on info the ONTs append onto every packet that is sent to us, check whether an ONT is powered, whether the fibre cable has been severed, the optical signal level, whether there’s a device connected to LAN port X, etc.

In addition, the OLTs are set up to only allow properly provisioned (either by the technician during the install, or remotely after the install) ONTs to connect. Even if you did get a brand new ONT of the same make and model and hooked it up, the network would detect the differing serial number and treat it as a rogue device. Any rogue devices detected on the PON are ignored by the OLT, and a flag is raised internally to notify that an unauthorised device has been connected to the network. That flag could result in a technician being despatched to search for the rogue device, especially if said device is doing something that puts the network’s integrity in jeopardy. In the event a customer does mess with the ONT, it results in interactions with our care team that otherwise would not have happened (My internet stopped working, I don’t know what happened and am conveniently omitting that when I removed the ONT from the wall I severed the fibre splice hidden within the ONT wall mounting bracket). ISPs at the end of the day are businesses, and would prefer to be spending resources dealing with genuine customer problems, rather than ones caused by people who know just enough to cause problems.
