I’m getting 895Mb 119Mb.

That's bang-on exactly what I get too.

Today I upgraded to Fibre 900 from the old Superfast Fibre 4 (330/30) without knowing of these issues. Wonder if it will go through!

I am sure it will, just need to keep on at them when they fail to contact you with an update.
Also remember to be nice and polite when speaking to them.

Coming from 80/20 these speeds are so amazing. Never tried the 330/50 package was too expensive at the time.

You appear to be getting the full speed. Are you using the provided Hub 2 or your own router? And what's your computer specs?

I was wondering that too, I was going to start a topic asking the following:

ISP, Package, Router Used, Location and speed received.

Hopefully that might help people choose routers for the task.
So.…

ISP: BT
Package: Full Fibre 900 + FVA
Router: MikroTik Tik RB4011iGS+RM (CPU at 25% load when using full connection)
Location: London (about 5.4km / 3.3 miles from Telehouse Docklands)
Speed: 880 - 890 Mbps.

I also have a SamKnows White Box inline, so I might at one point try without that inline.
Might also try the Smart Hub 2 just as a comparison.

ISP: Cerberus Networks
Package: 900/110 (FTTP Ultra2)
Router: FireBrick 2900 (Not sure on CPU usage but on multiple wired speed tests I'm only able to achieve around 500-550Mbps downstream and I'm aware the router has a routed throughput limitation of up to 750Mbps)
Location: Eastbourne
Speed: 500-550Mbps downstream, most likely due to router specifications not being up to the task of a full routed gigabit throughput

My main interest in the package was the significantly greater upstream speed, for which my home lab/server is appreciative of .

Good post this Paul, very informative for other users.

I started a post not long ago regarding which router will people be using for the 900 package but this is better altogether.

Maybe start a new post with a new title.

Guessing you'll probably be ok - those in this thread were ordering pretty much exactly as the lockdown happened, which unsurprisingly screwed things up for BT as for everyone else.

Right. I'm here!

After 4-weeks of asking, begging and pleading, my ONT details have finally updated on OR system to reflect the fact that I have a 4-port ONT. It spent yesterday and the day before showing no service/ONT at all. Then this morning popped up as having available ports.

I called BT and they could see the spare ports available and were happy to set up on Port 2. Which means the previous BT call where they claimed they would only work on Port 1 was rubbish.
Then they got stuck over wanting to do a working line take over on my phone line and said they couldn't not do it. Transferred from Canterbury to Dundee and they set-up with a new number. Waded through the wifi guarantee (no I have better) and NowTV stuff. Eventually a vanilla Fibre 900 is ordered with a new number to follow.

Provisional start date is 15/5/2020!


From reading my ONT won't handle 900/110 and 330/30 when both are active but I will only use one and then cease the other. But then my USG-Pro-4 probably won't handle all of it either. Waiting for the UXG rather than the UDM-Pro which seems to have issues.

Fingers still crossed.

Good to hear.

Regarding the USG-Pro-4, I'm not sure. I guess it depends if you're going to use features like QoS. If the traffic is hardware off-loaded then surely it can cope with that connection speed. I intend to switch to the EdgeRouter Pro 8 within the next few weeks/months, whenever I sort out an alternative to the current VoIP setup which currently goes via the FireBrick 2900. I might setup 3CX on my home server/workstation system.
