Plusnet Hub One is rubbish piece of cheap kit! Just a re-branded name of BT Home Hub.

Thanks for feedback. I didn't know that PCE-AC88 will work well with FTTPoD or FTTP and even future upcoming G.Fast. I just heard that DSL-AC88U router has removed G.Fast from latest firmware, but don't know why is this.

hummmm if they have removed g.fast from the firmware (or at least this version) can they still leagaly sell it as a g.fast router?

I mean yes it is compatible but it sounds like it wont work on any g.fast line

In the most recent post from adslmax which includes the changelog for the firmware copied from the ASUS site you can see

"- Remove G.fast sync capability from "Auto Sync-Up" in DSL modulation(could set with fixed G.fast option instead)."

Not quite the same as removing G.fast.

I'm running build 397 of the firmware and G.fast is present.
