I currently have the standard BT fibre connection at my home and will be upgrading to the new 1.6Gbps service , does anyone have a photo of it installed so I can compare the size etc ?
Thanks in advance
Solved! See the answer below or view the solution in context.

@pyrotenax - here you go...
BT SH2 (it's obviously a Plusnet hub but the dimensions are roughly the same) compared to EE SH+: -
And here are the ONTs. Older Huawei GbE ONT at the top (plus battery backup) - used with a 900mbps FTTP service, and newer Nokia 2.5GbE ONT on the bottom - used with EE's 1.6Gbps service: -

The router, Smart Hub Plus, & how to connect it can be seen in Set up your Home Broadband EE Router

Thanks for taking the time not to bother even reading my post @XRaySpeX

Hi @pyrotenax I don't have a photo of it installed but this YouTube video might help. The Smart Hub plus is bigger than the BT Hub you have at the moment, hopefully the video helps illustrate this.
Thanks

Thanks @bobpullen , it was the ONT photo that I was after. My original ONT was much smaller than yours and fit on a standard backbox inside the Openreach enclosure, so when the latest one was installed it was the same size and fits in the existing Openreach enclosure. I was afraid it would be bigger and interfere with my accessories on the wall.
It was fitted yesterday and no issues. Thanks for your photos 🙂

Hi Neil-O , thanks for the reply. I was after the ONT info.
I dont use my providers hardware, I use my own equipment .. well apart from the ONT 🙂
