Set me straight - Full Fibre Speeds

khaled35 — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 06:34:07 GMT

Any reason the downstream and upstream on my Hub 2 are reporting 1000 Mbps? It did this when I was on a 300 connection and still does it on a 500 connection.

My speeds are fine, just curious why it isn't reporting correctly.

Cheers

Hi @ khaled35
The 1000 Mbps is the ethernet link connection rate between the router and the ONT.
Behind the scenes, the FTTP optical link speeds are higher I think 2400 Mbps for the downstream.
Openreach cap each users throuhput speeds to the contracted value, in your case 300Mbps.

@khaled35 the router is reporting the speed of the ethernet connection to the ONT. This will always be 1000Mb, provided they are connected with a cat5e or better cable, as both the router and ONT have gigabit capable interfaces. The router does not know the provisioned speed of your connection in the Openreach network.

Thank you both.
