EE 1.8Gb

[no_1_dave]

EE are offering 1.8Gb/120mb, has anybody tried this yet..?

I'm tempted when my 12 months is up with Aquiss but I'm put off by the fact that their supplied router only has a 2.5Gb WAN port, no 2.5Gb LAN ports so you're still limited to 1Gb when hardwired. My current router has no 2.5Gb ports and routers with more than 1x 2.5Gb ports appear to be £250+ which makes it quite an outlay if I wanna make the most of the 1.8Gb download speed. I know the whole idea is multiple people in the family can use it at once and I don't need 1.8Gb etc etc but if I have it I wanna be able to use it

I have had it running since the 10th Nov. New 2.5Gbps ONT installed going into my Asus ET12 WiFi 6E router, then 2.5 lan out to 2.5 switches etc.

I have had a solid minimum 1.6Gbps Speedtest.net to the right servers. Most of the time it’s around 1.68-1.7Gbps. WiFi 6E to iPhone 15pro max giving around 1.3Gbps.

Great, when you have 2 kids in the house downloading 100gb+ games etc. never see any drop in internet performance, always enough to go round now.

Fastest download I’ve seen so far, is 197meg a sec!

The pricey routers is what is putting me off.
I see a lot of routers with 1x 2.5Gb port, but that will obviously be the WAN. To get a 2nd 2.5Gb port so it can be output to switches you need to spend £250-£300 minimum. I can't find any routers under £200 which have more than 1 2.5Gb WAN/LAN port
