Today I’ve had BT FTTP 900 installed and I’m very happy with it. Been with BT for years and I’ve never had any issues with connection, or there smart hubs. I’ve just done a speed test on the Series X with 947mb down and 109mb up. Also on the PS5 848 mb down and 109 up. Both are wired connections, I am getting around 450mb down and 110mb up on my IPad with wireless. I’m very happy with the result. It’s an upgrade from 30mb down and 5mb up that I had with BT FTTC
That’s awesome!! Iv upgraded to the BT FTTP 900 also, excited for my installation next Wednesday, I’m currently on a 40-50mbps download speed with roughly 10mbps upload speed. Looking forward to getting these awesome speeds! :)
It's included in the broadband package for free, just pay delivery of £9.99 😂 And send the old one (for which you paid £9.99 delivery charge) for "recycling"
Probably a bit late for a reply to this.... Just got a BT 900 connection and wanted to use my own router if possible,. The engineer that fitted it said I couldn't do this but I'm not convinced he had a clue what he was doing! I have a little white box on the wall (with 4 green LEDs on it - 3 of which are on in normal use). I think this is the ONT? From this is just a bog-standard ethernet cable running to the smart hub 2. If I do take out the SH2 and put my own router in would it work? I saw somebody saying I need to configure a BT email address/pwd and and ID into the router? Always been a cable modem user up to now so this is new to me - do all routers support this? Mines an TP-Link Archer AX55-Pro.
I'll be replacing mine definitely, the connection is stable when wired and when you get close but when you move away just a few feet away it can have issues with buffering; I could have full signal too and it'll still be slow. I'll upgrade to ASUS and see.
It's March 2024 and I'm getting 15-31 Mbps download (when it works properly) and 4-6 Mbps upload with bt "fiber 1" 😂 for only £34.30 Nothing else, broadband only, no sports or bt tv, calls etc. Will a different router keep the WiFi speed stable or is BT fault?
Hi Ryan, I’m getting BT full fibre 900 installed Friday and I currently have a UDM pro. Based on your videos I assume the fibre line terminates into a ONT and this goes into your router/modem. How do you configure this to go straight into the UDM pro WAN port? If this was a virgin connection I know you can put their equipment into modem only mode but this isn’t the case with BT I’m totally confused so any help will be appreciated
Hi Joe! So the ONT outputs a standard copper Ethernet cable that goes straight into the router. From there you put in the BT home hub username and password and away you go. Simple as that. No BT HomeHub/SmartHub needed. Mine went straight in the bin. UDM Pro has been flawless.

@@keiganemslie2519 it’s crazy. Video games are now playable in about 4 minutes, rather than 2-4 hours of downloading
@@BL00MYB0Y oh my days that’s fkn mental! So it’s great value for how much it costs then
The only downside with custom kit all ISPs have heart failure when you mention you've got your own kit. 😂

You're back!

Hi Ryan, Do you have any experience or knowledge of replacing the SR203 Sky router with Sky fttp?
Hi, could you suggest a router to replace Bt smart hub. Just want faster Wi-Fi- I pay for 500 but Bt hub maxes out at about 280? Thanks
crying while looking at these speeds, in my country for around 80 usd we get 5mbps for download and the upload speed is non-existent
same, my upload is 1mb/s
What about mesh wifi
It's March 2024 and I'm getting 15-31 Mbps download (when it works properly) and 4-6 Mbps upload with bt "fiber 1" 😂 for only £34.30

You're paying for 50 mbps that sounds like a stable connection to me
