BT/EE is offering 1.6Gb fibre in my neighbourhood, which sounds great on paper. However, the router they provide has a 2.5Gb Ethernet WAN port to connect to the fibre access point and all the other ports are Gigabit.

So I’m assuming that there’s no way a single connection can ever use all the bandwidth with the hardware provided (wired or Wifi). I’m planning on ‘wiring’ 10Gbe fibre through my house (using SFP+), but there’s no way of getting anything better than a wired gigabit connection to the WAN. For 2023 where BT/EE wants £69/month for this, I can only say I’m unimpressed - ironic that you’d save £20/month getting 900Mb service that matches Gigabit speed.

Does anyone have any recommendations for replacing the router to something more useful or a better service provider?
