BT broadband to EE 1.6gbps

What a pain it has been to switch over to EE to get new router and faster speeds. Initially I was told they can order the 1.6gbps broadband from EE as I had by complete WiFi and i agreed only then after the phone call ended I noticed they simply transferred over like for like package on EE and found I then had to pay more not much but still £1 more. I was later told to let my order complete and I can then regrade and get the 1.6gb fibre from EE. I then checked on EE and it was still showing as I have the 900mb package. A few days passed, however  to my surprise it now shows I can get rhe 1.6 gbps package from EE. So when I called again to day I was told I can’t get it even though I am on full fibre fttp as the people on the phone said they can’t see the offer so can’t provide this to me  so firstly I was misled and missold what I was ordering then now their site doesn’t match it states I can get which is mis advertising. I have spent a number hours on the phone.

Yes I read your previous post hence the questions. As per my previous comment, I'm now more curious as to how you convinced Openreach to activate/register a third party ONT on their network and who you even managed to speak to in order to get that done. 

I can barely even speak to people who know what an ONT is, let alone how to register your custom 10gig ONT for operation on their network. You said you didn't want to open a can of worms but buddy, you spilled those worms all over the floor when you started making comments about custom ONTs and speeds that aren't even possible on EE and Openreach's current deployment of their network!

OR wouldn’t allow a third party ONT to be used on their network as it’s untested and could have unexpected consequences. 

The only way it could be done is if you cloned the MAC address and serial number from the OR supplied unit.

Hey @garetc

You say it not me.

¡Buena suerte!
