I'll ask politely anyway for it irrespective but I would a bit more demanding if policy was that it should be changed.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

One of the things I seen was that one guy from Kelly Communications claim that openreach were supplying some packages without the psu however I have no way of verifying if that is the case or if that is just the general tide of misinformation that tends to surround these things.

Compared to the first install, 8 months ago, he was considerably more insistent on mounting the modem, and doing so vertically. He also wanted to use the new modem, and specifically wanted to use the new PSU (which is white, rather than black).
I've seen it said (but can't check right now) that both modem & PSU are rated at a higher current.
If that's the way Openreach are acting at installation, I'd say you should treat the stuff delivered by Kelly in the same way.
Using FTTC since 2011. Currently on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra.

If it helps anyone, I have the '3B' (the latest, I think), Router is marked 12V 1A, White PSU is marked 'BT Switching Power Supply' Input 100-240V - 50/60Hz 500mA Output 12.0V [DC] 1.0A.
It could be that the PSU voltage output is better regulated at 12V as any over-voltage may well make the modem run hotter.

Modem has been replaced, but -not- the power supply. That's still the old black one.
Apparently (I wasn't there) a new power supply wasn't included.

Quote from: shadowff6 I was rather surprised not to see anything official on the plus.net site about the issue (or perhaps I'm going blind! ).
There should be a link on the letter directing you to an FAQ on this site, was that not there? (It was on the letter I received) http://community.plus.net/fibre-modem

Modem changed. Had to ask for the white psu but was given without issue. Getting the router to reconnect to the internet took a lot longer than a normal reconnect. Guy from Kelly Comms said that another Plusnet customer had the same problem. He had to reboot everything. Modem, router & computer before he could get his up and running again.

Thanks Kelly. I've had FTTC since mid 2010 so should definitely be on the list. I'll wait and see what appears over the next couple of weeks.
