Hi Josser,

If they still can't sort it let me know. I have a 4 port Huawei here you can use that won't throttle you. I only use one port now so no reason why I can't use my Openreach provided one.

This kit has worked fine for over 3 years. It just needs a minor configuration change and it'll emulate your existing equipment perfectly.

Thanks for the offer - very kind.

Let's see how it goes next Friday. If the right engineer turns up with the right kit there shouldn't be a problem.

Good Luck!

Mesdames et messieurs, faites vos jeux!

I'm feeling confident, but not enough to put money on it!

If this is a residential FTTP product it's probably using GPON which can have contention ratios of up to 1:128 and each port is good for 2.5Gb/s

Nope. It's business.

It's still GPON.

Whilst you are correct, we also know that it is Openreach GPON which won't have a contention ratio above 1:32 and will probably have a contention ratio less than 1:30.

This is of course irrelevant to the OP who wants to be able to achieve a 1974Mbits/sec burst across the two interfaces made available to him (the Openreach product being sold as 900Mbits/sec actually being a 10000Mbits/sec product limited to 987Mbits/sec when presented on a 1Gbits/sec ethernet interface), something quite achievable on a 2.5Gbits/sec GPON network.

Sure, but the point is, 'Business' is not relevant, it's the exact same service and technology at the customer premises level, and I think the point the poster was making was checking it was a GPON service and not something else, which it is of course, but they used the term 'residential' - I think they meant 'regular FTTP' rather than 'are you paying for a business or domestic fttp service'

All sorted!

The Openreach engineer was booked for Friday morning but he turned up today (Thursday) asking if it was a good time to do the job. It was, and he would have come back on Friday if necessary so I'm not complaining. He had been given all the correct details for the job and he had a Nokia 4-port ONT on his van. The swap over was quick and easy which left him a little bewildered when he couldn't get any service on the new ONT. Turns out that the 4 ports run from right to left on the Nokia as opposed to the old Huawei where they ran left to right; hence he had plugged the ethernet cables into ports 3 & 4 rather than 1 & 2. It was his first install of a Nokia 4-port ONT so I'll let him off that one. Once the cables were in the correct ports everything sprang to life.

I now get full 900Mbps concurrently on both lines!
Happy days!

Nice!

I'm glad it was sorted for you in the nicest physical way possible! 😁
