Full Fibre 145 Speed not as stated

I recently had Full Fibre 145 installed, I am only seeing speeds of around 90mbps. When I check the Hub Manager I see that the WAN Link Speed is 100mbps. I have used brand new high speed ethernet cables and expected the router to recognise this and increase the WAN Link Speed to 1000mbps.
This hasn't happened and I have tried other fixes found on the forum but all to no avail.
Any suggestions warmly received.

@Slunnyboy can you inspect the connections on the WAN port for damage ? Compare it with one of the LAN ports

From what I can see the Wan port is fine.
Until I upgraded I have never touched the Wan port since first getting the Plusnet Hub 2 several years ago.

Re: Full Fibre 145 Speed not as stated

Well it's either a cable, a wan port or an ONT  fault..

Try connecting the ONT to a LAN port and check the hub 2 log to see what connection speed is reported. That should confirm if it's a wan port fault or not.

We've had a recent instance of a router with a similar fault. Does your router serial no start with an 'R' ?

Have a look at this thread https://community.plus.net/t5/Full-Fibre/Port-2-speed-limitation-need-service-moved-to-port-1-but-bl...
Ignore the bit about the port 2 of the ONT it was a red herring

20:11:44, 26 Apr.A device connected to Ethernet port 3
20:11:44, 26 Apr.Wire Lan Port 3 up, Speed 1000 Mbps

As you can see the speed was 1000Mbps when I switched ports which indicates a problem with the Hubs WAN port I presume?

Serial number of Hub doesn't start with an R

Re: Full Fibre 145 Speed not as stated

Thanks, is there another way to contact Plusnet other than by phone? The reason I'm asking isbthat I am temporarily unable to speak at the moment and it will be some time before I can.

Re: Full Fibre 145 Speed not as stated

Phone is normally the only way to contact support but I'll try tagging the help team to see if they can assist in the circumstances

@Katie_B  is it possible for someone to assist here ?

I have an app Relay UK which allows me to write a text which is then read out over the phone by an operator. I should be able to manage using this. Thanks for your help and advice.
