I am a bit confused - I have just switched from the basic Plusnet broadband to the fibre super fast job and they have sent me the new router. But, my netgear600 ADSL router has remained plugged in and turned on. I haven't connected the new Plusnet equipment but the service is now so much faster than it was (i have notification that it has been switched over) does this mean I don't actually need that Plusnet router at all? Since it is all clearly working and very fast would that not just be duplication? Does anyone know? Thanks a lot - I am not very tekkie i'm afraid.

Two possibilities:-
1) You haven't actually been switched over yet, quite often the email saying 'your product change is complete' is sent prior to the Fibre changeover. The PlusNet profile having changed to fibre MIGHT explain a slight increase in speed.
2) your Netgear router is VDSL compatible in which case it will automatically resynch to Fibre. Which model is it and we can check ?

It says it is the Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL 2+ DGND 3700v2
Can you check for me then? Cheers

That's not VDSL compatible , so that means there's just one possibility!, you haven't been switched to Fibre yet.

So will I still plug this one into the new Plusnet one as well or do I just ditch the Netgear and just use the plus net box once switch over has happened?

You use the Plusnet one instead of your Better. In fact you could use the new one now, it us both ADSL & VDSL capable and so should work now and then automatically switch when your fibre really goes active.

I guessed as much - either that or you were Jonny Foreigner who got a case of language confusion. Thanks for your help!

No problem. Hope the eventual transfer to fibre goes smoothly. You may have to ask for your profile to be manually set after the fibre goes live, as in the mean time it may revert to ADSL speed
