Yeah that's interesting, we signed up for the 500/500 package and in week one I was aware of 15 service outages with the majority of them requiring a restart of the ONT. Since it was swapped out it seems to be stable (touch wood!)

It seems it might not have been the ONT after all (see my later post), rather it was an inadequate termination between outdoor, and indoor fibre.
Funny thing is I still haven’t got a letter from Youfibre lol but my address is ready for service

Decided that You8000 was just too much, just don't need that kinda bandwidth, it would just sit idle most of the time. You 2000 is going to be a very healthy bump from my current Aquiss 1000Mbps/115Mbps.
My internal LAN is 10Gbps and it wouldn't have been 'cool' but my sensible head won
Can't wait to have the upload speeds upgraded, also gave me a chance to interact with YouFibre support a couple of times and I've been impressed.

Yes, their support is really really good for an ISP!!Decided that You8000 was just too much, just don't need that kinda bandwidth, it would just sit idle most of the time. You 2000 is going to be a very healthy bump from my current Aquiss 1000Mbps/115Mbps.

How would this work? The ROG only has a 2.5GBit WAN port. Have YouFibre configured it to use one of the 10GBit LAN ports to terminate the WAN connection or something?
The press release for the 8Gbps service (https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.p...fibre-launch-8gbps-uk-home-fibre-package.html) says the router they use is an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 with one of the 10Gb ports used as WAN.

Well it's a shambles 
New ASUS ET12 router turned up but no mesh extender, plugged in new ASUS hardware and it doesn't work, finally spoke to Support and they're sending out an Engineer but I don't have any confidence that this will fix problem as
1. EERO router was working OK with static IP
2. ASUS ET12 is unable to ping it's own default gateway (which I can ping it from Aquiss connection)
I think there is a 'logical' issue due to the EERO Static IP being locked to the EERO MAC but the guy on the phone insists it's not!
BUM!

Try spoofing the mac address of the eero to the new router will rule out/confirm the static ip being assigned to it.

If they are using DHCP might need the lease to be released or wait for it to expire to switch to a new router. Would expect if you were on to support they would have released it manually or told you the expiry time. Spoofing the mac address would get round that aswell.
