Ask the Openreach engineer for a modem if they don't give you one and use your own router. Despite what's been posted in this thread, G.fast is a current product that Openreach will continue to install and maintain for quite a while yet and it's a way of squeezing anything up to 300Mbps down a normal copper phone line. Which is quite impressive. And the relatively high cost charged to end-users means you tend to get the speeds they advertise, unlike FTTP or Virgin in my experience.
Thanks. I will ask for a new modem and have a bunch of Ubiquiti kit (APs, POE switches, USG, etc) arriving shortly so hopefully, everything should be pretty rock solid
Have you set up a UniFi network before? If not, please watch the Crosstalk Solution video;

And when it wants you to input the PPPoE username and password, just enter it and leave it alone until it connects. This could take some time (anything up to a few hours) but it will connect and once it does, it will be rock solid. I usually do it last thing before I leave the job at night and in the morning it’s connected. It’s just a USG/PPPoE thing.
No, there hasn't actually been a feature/bug fix on the USG for almost 12 months. They're only doing security fixes now.
I'm delighted that it picked it up that quick and hopefully it's all working as promised. Enjoy!
You may as well cancel if they can't improve it, 90/10 on G.fast is pretty much pointless when you can get a standard 80/20 FTTC connection for cheaper most likely.
