No, I don't have QoS or IPS turned on. I have about 100 devices on my network including 5 access points. All switches and AP are Unifi and although the USG is not as fully featured as my previous pfSense router it does enough and I appreciate the 'single pain of glass'...


Note there is a lot more functionality in the UniFi line of routers than appears at first sight. However you have to manually edit a JSON file to get at it.

Now it's time to get excited then, just changed this morning to WBC FTTP 1000 / 220 - 1-stage. Hooray!

Looking promising.

I got an update. Despite being told audit was complete and the order was working its way through back office systems prior to commissioning, I am now told the audit is still going on. I've gone backwards.

Mine jumped from 330/50 to 1000/220 a day or two after they finished the fibre line. But not changed in a couple of weeks.

Well I was told this week that audit was taking too long so it was put on the hurry up, audit was completed yesterday (even though I had already been told audit was done). Checked the ADSL checker this afternoon and it says 1000/220 which it has for a week or two but now also says FTTP Install Process - 2 Stage. Hopefully just updates going through the system as the ONT is on the wall winking at me. One wonders what they would find to do on a 2-stage install process.

Unifi Pro-4 delivered today along with US-24. Going to swap out a Netgear switch (GS724Tv4 ProSafe 24-port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch up for grabs in the next week).
With IPS/IDS it says limited to 250Mbps but will get me going. If I really like the single pain of glass will have to get the XG!

I hope you get a single pane rather than any pain smile

Connectorized installs are usually �1 stage�, ie the final bit is all done in one go. It might be that due to your DP being a long distance away from your premises, this will require 2 visits. Alternatively you might be lucky enough to get fibre blown to a CSP, in which case a �2 stage� install is normal - this means you will get 4 fibre strands to your premises instead of 1 smile

Yes I get that. But it states 2 stage but we have a connectorized install, and the fibre is already installed, along with the ONT. I just need it commissioned.

The ONT was installed by the jointing team to speed up deployment. It was connecterized in the ground box with 330m connecterized single fibre to pull. My only thought is that they supplied us a 4-port ONT on the end of the fibre so possibly labelled as 2-stage due to this.

The ONT has been sat on the wall since 12th February flashing it's green light.

Cheers

Fair do's. But I think a connectorized install can still show up as a 2 stage install if Openreach deem it necessary to complete the final leg in 2 visits. Like you I also had my ONT & internal cabling installed early as a "favour", it was all done on the day they blew the fibre to the external CSP but the Engineer at the time made it clear not to get too excited as my circuit wouldn't be going live anytime soon - i think it took another 8 weeks or so from that point. On the day the ONT was activated and service went live, the Engineer was quite surprised to see everything in place already.

Otherwise it might just be a simple case of a BT/Openreach database error in your case. But regardless, its not a big deal.

Latest update is that Openreach have completed their audit, now waiting on an appointment date. Hooray! That was faster than I expected.

Save me some! Jointers were working on my line yesterday, believe they finished the job.

Though I am expecting issues with my ONT install, I don't want it where the current copper cable enters the house, should be fun as the entire drive is brick laid.
