Have Plusnet got a Hub yet for fiber?

Just been reading a Post here from a person upgrading from ADSL to Fiber and it prompted me to wonder if Plusnet got a one box unit like Sky or BT with their Hubs?

No they don't and they won't until openreach stop providing the modem which doesn't happen until early next year.

but if anything changes
Surely that should be WHEN anything changes. BT won't be supplying FTTC modems come the 1st Jan 2016, that's not that far away Roll_eyes

If the routers that plusnet provide are any indication then they will go for the cheapest poorly featured cack going.

Talking of which, does the Talk Talk Super Router(HG633) work ok with PlusNet? I know the EE Brightbox 2 is locked down but would be very interested to know if the HG 633 is being
used on PlusNet. There are a few for sale on ebay.
