  what protocol does the ISP use over fibre?

  Any way to figure this out? The modem they have provided looks like a layer 2 bridge, i.e., it just converts optical frames to ethernet frames. The login/auth process happens on my router.

  Honestly the network card that you will probably need might already pull more than the modem

  I have a feeling that this is true. I’ll check.
