I asked them about this, and apparently it is the "Calix GigaSpire U6.2" and it handles the 1000mbs connection better than the older router.

Here's a data sheet I found: https://www.mypremieronline.com/assets/documents/giga-spire-blast-u6.2-GS4227E-spec-sheet.pdf

Thanks for that. Looks a decent unit.

Do all you guys on the 1Gb package have the Pro router?

Called them up and they said it does but I didn't get any confirmation in the order email.

Wait I'm on Lit1000 and they gave me u4 and it's performance is not so good, let's see if I can get it replaced.

I put the phone right next to router. And it is around 175mb around the house.

That's pretty bad. Can't see your imgur post.

It's wifi 6 2x2 on 5ghz. Would expect at least 500Mb in the same room.

What device are you using? Phone?

Right next to router it is 350mb, they gave me free mesh for upstairs but that didn't really change much. On lit app when I do speed test it shows 938 mbps but in real life I can't see those numbers.

The Lit app is testing the line speed no doubt. Basically the speed from the ONT.

What phone are you using for testing

It is phone 14

So after a long chat with customer support, I have been told I'm getting the speed to my router and if it is not reaching all around the house I should order another mesh. I guess I'm not getting any new router.

very disappointed.

Yeah that's a shame. Most ISPs doesn't include a top end router in the bundle.

Hence why I'm set on getting the pro hub. This is for my sister BTW. I've only got Openreach where I am.

Got them to confirm the Pro Hub via email!

Had my Lit install this morning. All went well, after the engineer had located where the ducting for my fibre actually ran. Have switched over to my UDM Pro, using cloned MAC address. Now looking to get my static IP added, as they seem to have missed it off the order
