Plusnet Fibre Extra on a Cisco Router

Hello everyone..
Are there any Cisco wizards out there?
I am currently a customer of BT, on their 80/20 unlimited fibre offering.
Due to their propensity for increasing prices, I have decided it is no longer good value, so I have now signed up for Plusnet Unlimited Fibre Extra which should go live on the 19th July. Rather than use the supplied router, I would prefer to continue using my Cisco 1921 which has a VDSL card installed.
Given that both the BT and Plusnet services are provided across the same infrastructure, is it just a matter of changing the login credentials in the router config? Or is there something else that I need to consider?
Thanks for any pointers you can offer.
John

I see no reason why your current router wouldn't work. PlusNet have long been happy for customers to use their own equipment and list the required details on their Help pages. Look under General Broadband Help
https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/
I would use the PlusNet supplied router in the first instance just to confirm you're up and running with PlusNet and then change.

If you consider that Plusnet customers can use a BT router by just changing the user name and password I can see no reason why you would have a problem.

Just for anyone that's interested..
My phone and fibre service was activated today and @Baldrick1 was absolutely right. I just had to change the username and password on the Cisco and it connected straight away.
Brilliant!!
