Hi BenG
You may well see the figures in Strats table.
Then, if your experience is anything like mine, when Plusnet accept your order the lowest download figure {FTTC Range B (Impacted) 80 66.3} i.e the 66.3 in the example, will have been approximately halved and you will read something like "the estimated speed for your line will be 30.00meg".
So they are indicating they may not be able to deliver even half the speed you are expecting.
When your product is installed you will probably not even get that speed.
No doubt you will contact Plusnet and be told to wait for the "magic" 10 days settling period. Now your problems will really begin.
On the other hand you may be one of the lucky ones and actually get something like you ordered, and I may see a flying pig!

Hope you don't mind this OP.
It will depend on your model of router, though we can send you a router out just for P+P if you like.

Thanks for the info I did a test with my number and got the results.
if I do a need a new router then I think I get it from plusnet as I do not know much about routers.

PN supply a BT branded fibre modem free of charge when the engineer installs the service. You will probably need this . They also send free of charge a rather crummy combined router / wifi acces point as well, which plugs into the modem . It s a SAGECOM branded thing and is not very good. Postage costs £5.99 I think . However, it is already set up to work on your connection and you don't have to do any setting up or tinker with it. It works out of the box. .
Depending on which Netgear router device you have you might be able to use it instead of the PN supplied router, but you would need to set it up to work with PPPoE and log it into the PN network with your user name and password .

What happened when I switched was an engineer attended. He changed the socket to a Mk3 I think it was which has an inbuilt filter suitable for the fibre.
Then he has to change some jumpers at the cabinet He should check your line as well before he leaves. He brings a new fibre modem with him and you receive a router from PN in the mail.
It's all over in an hour and that's you switched to fibre. Your billing will alter when BTOR tell PN the work is complete
