Ah, so this should have been on the Full Fibre board. I'm not certain, but I think you have to wait for notification, by email/text, that the change has completed.

Re: Changed broadband speed

@bob4357 Unfortunately,  I am not with PN any more, so don't know what the Hub2 reports as regards your connection speed. What does you Member Centre report as your connection speed?.

Don't worry about the wrong board issue, I'll get this topic moved, but to post further topics, from the forum home page, select the correct board from the list presented - as below:Screenshot 2025-08-09 at 12-04-06 Forum - Plusnet Community.png

It would do no harm to switch the hub off for a couple of minutes to check. Leave the ONT on.

@bob4357 

How are you testing the speed change? Needs to be a LAN (wired) connection.

Re: Changed broadband speed

For reference looking at the Hub Two >Home >Status page

Screenshot 2025-08-09 134734.jpg 

The WAN link speed is the ethernet connection between the Hub WAN port and the Openreach ONT.

If the speed is 100 Mbps then a cat5 cable (two pair / four wires or a faulty cable) is being used so limiting the connection to 100 Mbps.

The cable must be cat 5e or above (four pair / eight wires)

Re: Changed broadband speed

@bob4357 Hi there,

 

Taken a quick look into this for you. Looks like your scheduled account change was due for 08/08 originally. The Openreach modify order we placed is due to complete on 11/08 according to our systems. Usually a modify order can be fairly instant and completes within 1-2 working days, However if OR are experiencing tons of orders at your exchange, they sometimes delay it by an extra couple of days for capacity and safety purposes. 

 

In summary your FTTP 300 speeds should be noticeable come the 11th. You should also receive a automatic system email from us saying something along the lines of 'your broadband product change is complete. ' Once you get this email that means the modify order is complete and you should see the change in speeds. If the speeds are still looking similar to your old speeds come the 11th and the system email confirmation. Quickly reboot your ONT and that should sort it. 

 

All the best
