Uhh. thanks customer service for getting back to me to tell me to call us, don't email two weeks later about a bus that drove right past me

Like 15 days ago, bus completely blew past me at a stop. It was on a weekend.
I called, only to get an automatic message that its closed, so I just submitted an online form on Trimet website and I got an email saying to call. I replied back saying all the exact details are in the form I submitted and to go off of the info I already sent.

So, two weeks later, after I pretty much forgot about it, got a reply telling me don't email us about those things, call us, and by the way, we're an 8-4 M-F sort of place. All the relevant details were provided in the form I originally submitted. Looks like a complaint is getting procedurally dismissed unless I carve time out of my day during those hours, wait 30 minutes, then hash out the details they've already been provided.

G.hn over CAT3 pair possible using G.hn over COAX hardware?

So, in the building I am in, I was told by CenturyLink that it is possible to bring FTTP fiber into the utility room in the MDU building. In that room, there is also a punch down block where CAT 3 cabling goes to each unit.

Per building mgmt, CenturyLink provided ONT can reside in the equipment room into which my own device is intended to plug into. If it was a regular house, it would attach to a "modem" router with an CAT6 patch cord.

G. hn in theory would allow the existing CAT3 in the building that goes to my unit to work as a 300 ft ethernet "patch cord".

Unfortunately, for whatever reason, G hn over phone adapters are extremely hard to source, but G hn over coax are readily available. Is there a difference beyond the connectors between the Ghn over CAT3 vs coax? I could also look into Ghn over powerline adapters, but that would require modifications and I expect an uphill battle on an altered device from the building mgmt.
