Asus router on EE FTTP

[Mpearson1968]

Hi, I currently have my internet with BT. It is 900Mbps FTTP. I am planning to switch to EE's 1.6 GB FTTP service. 

I have a Asus Ai Mesh network I want to keep and want to use my own Asus router instead of the one supplied EE 

I'd like to know if there is any configuration I will need to do such as VLAN tagging or is it exactly the same as setting it up for BT FTTP, just setting the connection type to  PPPoE and username / password..

Thank.you.

@Mpearson1968 Would get it done then, as a BT customer you are NOT a new EE customer, may just fall apart when you try to place the order!

CPI rises are no longer allowed. Rises must be a fixed sum of £'s & p's, £4 pm in the case of BB as you see in that screenshot.

I do 2nd @JimM11 's view of the risk of coming at EE as a "new cust" from BT.

I hope not since BT suggested it. 

The agent said is a marketing strategy hence the higher BT prices for lower speeds. They want to encourage residential connections over to EE whilst BT concentrates on businesses.

Yes, BT's strategy is to encourage residential connections over to EE whilst BT concentrates on businesses but BT 900 Meg to EE 1.6 Gig was frowned upon..

I will call EE tomorrow and get clarification.

Still don't understand why they would care so long as BT / EE keep you as a customer, its a win win.

Logistics! It's a completely diff provisioning system & journey from 1 Gig & below. EE get it directly from OR rather than indirectly from BT Wholesale.
