I am about to get fibre installed- upgradingfrom adsl2- I am a long way from Exchange and currently only get 3mbps.
I am currently using plugs to connect from router via electricity sockets connected to Thomson router, Will they still work he same way on Fibre with the netgear supplied router from plus net?

I think you could also site the router away from the modem if that helps:
Master socket - Modem - Homeplug --- Homeplug - Router - PCs
Master socket - Modem - Homeplug --- Homeplug - Router - PCs

Thanks for that info,
Does it matter if mastersocket is in a cupboard with either router or modem? or should t just be master socket and plug there- or should I get everything out of cupboard, which gets quite warm?

Modem and router can get a bit hot so having them in a warm cupboard is basically not a good idea - how warm is the cupboard

The cupboard has some hot water pipes in it from central heating boiler- I think the equipment gets a bit overheated but all working quite well on adsl2. I am as far from the exchange as you can be (about 3.5 miles) and I am getting speeds of about 3mbps until next Monday when I switch to fibre hopefully . Then according to BT infinity my speeds should increase to about 40 0r 49mbps. So I should notice a considerable difference. Will BT open reach move the mastersocket?. It is in a different room from my computer- but I would really like them in the same room! However, mixture of plugs-via electricity and ethernet to router and wi fi to other equipment should be ok as now.

I think we all assumed the cupboard got quite warm because of lack of ventilation, not because it contained central heating pipes. I would most definitely not put the router or modem in there. You might get away with it, but if you don't you'll be in a mess so I don't think it's worth the risk!
