Fibre not available for Plusnet Pro users

[jelv]

Just read https://www.plus.net/fibre/faq.shtml and notice that it is only available to Value and Extra users.
I was expecting there to be quite a price premium for fibre on Pro and/or a not a very big usage allowance, but not available at all!

Bob reports that a "pro-like experience will also be available" in this post.

[me=jelv]wonders why the FAQ didn't include a note that a separate announcement was to be made for Pro users[/me]

And I wonders why the FAQ says that you WILL need a new router. Doesn't the fibre modem have ethernet?

[itsme]

Yes one port, but no router so no good plugging a hub/switch to it.

[gofaster]

But I could plug my current router into a fibre modem, couldn't I?
So, why does it say that I will need a new one?

[zubel]

If you have an Ethernet router, then yes. 
Plusnet have never, to my knowledge, supplied a seperate Ethernet router and ADSL modem, so based on their own supplied kit, you WILL need a new router.

and suppliers need to be more clear when describing routers. PCWorld has two description, BT Wireless Routers and Cable Wireless Routers. It's the latter that's required for Fibre. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/cable-wireless-routers/727_7087_70094_xx_xx/xx-criteria.html
The problem over the years people have referred to ADSL routers just as routers so are unaware of the ADSL modem fitted to them. So now it's hard to go back to calling them ADSL routers and xDSL router

[Alxns]

If you're router has a WAN port then it will work the BT modem.
But most don't as the pretty much the whole countrys on A-DSL based services.

Yep, I've had a Netgear range max running on fibre, worked a treat.
