Hi,

Im interested in moving from EE to Plusnet Fuill Fibre. I currently have the EE 1.6Gbps connection but don't need it and will move to a 900Mbps service.

However i have a few questions:

1. Can i use my own router (UDM-SE) to directly connection it to the ONT as i currently do with my EE connection?
2. If yes to the above, what are the connection configuration (UN?PW/VLAN?MAC) requirements?
3. Does Plusnet do any form of filtering on their connection?
4. Does Plusnet deploy any form of CGNAT?
5. I assume by default the connection is dynamic IP and not static.

TIA

@daNutz

1) Yes

2) See here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/broadband-connection-settings/ , you need the 'what seetings should I use for a fibre router that's connected to a BT openreach modem' (the ONT is effectively a fibre modem). In reality only the username/password will be different to your current connection

3) No

4) No

5) Yes. Static IP's are no longer available to new customers.

According to ISPreview Cloudflare Blocking Access to Internet Piracy Websites in the UK (15th July 2025) -

... it’s already quite well known that the UK’s major home broadband ISPs (BT, Virgin Media, Sky Broadband, EE, Plusnet, TalkTalk etc.) block customers from accessing websites that have been found, via the High Court, to facilitate internet copyright infringement (piracy). But now Content Delivery Network (CDN) provider Cloudflare has started doing the same.

In addition to those copyright infringement sites, also see a previous discussion highlighting banned foreign sites in forum topic reply - Does Plusnet block content ?
