I think you can buy a static IP if you want to avoid CGNAT. CGNAT is a fact of life for recent entrants to the ISP market, there just aren't enough addresses left.

Where is the 2400Mbps connection rate being reported?

I don't have a huge amount of confidence in whoever came in to test your cabling that wasn't planning on taking the plates off the wall just to look at the terminations, I think your structured cabling is in a right state and until you have bypassed it all for troubleshooting purposes by...

If your PHY is 2400Mbps then you must be on 6E according to https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/deployment/dep268652e6c/web

The 15 Pro has 4x4 on 5GHz Nope, wrong datasheet

Honestly if connection quality is of very little concern to you and you just "consume content" (ugh) then the best value option is likely a 5G service. It's more than capable of all the catch-up TV services you might want to use, and the upload is pretty decent. Let's put things in perspective...

Community Fibre often seem to break IPv6 by giving you an allocation but not having it work, try turning it off to see if the app starts working, and then if you care you can see if their support can help.

The thing about "it's an Openreach resell so same as all the others" is not true. Openreach provide the connection from your house to a cablelink at the headend exchange, that's all they have control over. How your ISP chooses to get the data back from that headend is entirely up to them - some...

61 quid for 250Mbps is mad pricing, why are they like that

The ONT is the "modem" in this scenario, plug into that and you get a WAN IP (after you dial the PPPoE connection).

Plusnet will do you 1Gb for £42 or 500Mb for £34. It's not symmetric but no Openreach services are. Openreach don't have the luxury of burning through capital invested in them by a middle eastern state like a huge number of the altnets, their pricing actually has to generate returns.

Not with that attitude, no

Yup, if anybody thinks Openreach made it difficult to speak to them, they should try CityFibre.

The spark ran two cables to that faceplate, didn't have a double outlet and just butt crimped the wires to another length of cable to extend it. I'm honestly surprised it held at 1Gb. Electricians need about five seconds to start having a go at other trades for doing 'their' job but they all...

If the duct is under the neighbours property then there will be a wayleave in place and they have no legal right to obstruct Openreach from unblocking the duct. If there's no wayleave in place they will have to plan a route around them.

Direct-in-ground is often ducted along the street (or service strip in front of each property) but then direct buried armoured from the quite small chambers to each house. The ducted bits can often be used without issue, and if you've just got a front lawn then they can easily dig when you place...

Openreach will probably just do it all for you, including digging in a duct if they have to. How does your phone line get in?

Do you mean powerline adapter? Powerline adapters are not PoE injectors. There is one Devolo model I've seen that is also a PoE injector, and it's a daft price. The energy to run the AP has to come from somewhere, PoE doesn't create energy.

The person installing that data cabling not realising you can get a double module outlet and having the cable just exit the wall with a plug crimped on the end has convinced me that all the problems are with the terminations of these cable runs.

These are contradictory, sorry I'm out of this thread. It's impossible to try and troubleshoot a moving target.
