Plusnet Hub One
Who on earth made this stupid decision. 😕 The HH5A is now about the only modem router that isnt g.inp compatible. I'm seriously beginning to think that who ever makes the decisions on which router to provide doesn't have half a clue.
Where does the usergroup stand on this these days. Are they even consulted for beta testing. Regardless or not I would have been playing up merry hell over such a backward decision.
Oh well plusnet, Im sad to say this is another nail in the coffin of bargain basement ISP. Oh things may look good for getting new users in, but theres nothing now showing you care about existing customers.
Btw dont say you weren't warned if people on longer lines moan about worse performance than if they were with 'x', 'y' or 'z' isp... purely because said ISP will supply a better modem.
What is the point in Openreach trying to release g.inp if Plusnet provide routers that are known to not be fully compatible with it.
Christ its bad enough that a year ago you were still supplying the old TG582n's, then you went down a step with the zero hub, now you go down a further step and release further inferior modem/routers. :no:
Bangs head on a brick wall. Funny enough I was speaking to one of the ex-CEOs of Plusnet just the other day... and off his own back he said how Plusnet made a muck of things by not taking note of the Usergroup. Said CEO turned PN around when he started listening. Current CEO seems to be on path of destroying Plusnet. No doubt he will have moved on by the time it all goes bad, because at the current time PN is riding on previous years CS support. Things are going downhill since, and word will catch up in the open community. Mark my words - been there, seen it all before.

seems to work ok.
given the plethora of xDSL modem/routers available at a cheaper retail price point that offer more features it does seem slightly strange that PlusNet would go with what's effectively an out of date under featured bit of kit, I guess that's a decision driven by the parent company to offload its current stock of junk without having to effectively pay to bin it before the next iteration goes on general release ....
its a shame given the number of consumers that have been driven to complain about the last new router and now another bad option is chosen, would of been better all round if they had waited a few more weeks and just chosen to offer everyone the hub6 tbh certainly bt would then get a much bigger fon network

If you can get this router on ebay, you will know that things didn't work out for the new customers.
They will have had to buy a new router and be stuck with a long contract.
So its a case of "fools rush in where angels fear to tread".
VDSL2 modem/routers will probably fall in price soon anyway.
