Hi
I had gone for a new contract on the 28th March. At the moment my speeds are still showing 500 gb . I went for the 1g speed which works out at £60 a month instead of £80.
I received an email this morning to say that my old contract has run out and I need to get a new one. Looking at my bill which was dated March 18th to April 25th . Ive received all the paperwork for the new speed . Question being does this mean my new speed wont start until then even though I was told told it would start on the Sunday of Easter weekend. Done some speed tests and it still at 500 mbs which is the old speed. Ive got a router 4 which Ive had for some time so do I need a new router before the 1G speeds can begin?
Confused anyone shed some light please ?
If you use your own router that has 2.5gbps ethernet or 10bps ethernet, as well as devices then you are better off with HUB5 in modem mode as it has a 2.5gbps and you'll make most of the (over) provisioning of 1300mbps (circa). If you don't have that then a HUB4 is fine.
If you intend to use in router mode, and not modem mode only, then the HUB5 is mainly of benefit with WiFii AX speeds if you have AX devices. The HUB 5 has issues in router mode with ethernet 2.5gbps port connected to a computer or cheap unmanaged switch due to Energy Efficiency changes at firmware level as device needs to have it disabled.
