Are you trying to deliberately miss the point, especially since
you cut out all the context? FTTP provides a ready to go service
that does not need a modem.
Technically, you can plug in 4 ethernet connections into the NTU.
(and also two phones)
If you want a LAN in your home you will need a router. You *may*
be able to use your existing one but possibly not.
With FTTN you will *have* to get a new modem/router/voip device.
And as Craig pointed out, not many of them do bridged mode.
