Just had my fibre installed today, and on the busiest household package the 1.6 Gbps. When connected to the Smart Plus Hub, it says WAN 1000Mbits when it should have said 2.5Gbps.
I then connected the ethernet from the ONT directly onto my 3rd party router, which is the ER707-M2 by Omada which is a multi gig router (2 x 2.5 Gbps ports), added the PPOE creds and it was working. Again the ethernet port negotiated/handshaked at 1Gbit.
This is telling me that the ONT has been set to 1Gbit and therefore negotiated at 1Gbit on all the routers I've tested. I have also connected an ethernet cable directly from the ONT to my desktop and set up a PPOE connection then, that also says 1Gbit.
This is the ONT that's been installed, and after looking online it's a ADTRAN ONT with 2.5Gbps port.

ONT that's installed (looks like the ADTRAN one)
My 3rd party router:
ONT is connected to Port 1 of the 2 x 2.5Gb ports and desktop is connected to Port 2 of the 2 x 2.5 Gb ports.
Speed test:
Any ideas guys?

OpenReach came and changed the ONT to the 2.5Gb one and now it's flying at 1.6 Gbps.
Wired Speed test:
(In task manager it was reporting at 1.8Gbps, so I'm guessing this is the 1.8Gbps service, removing the overhead buffer gets us to 1.6Gbps)
Wi-fi speed test (using my own equipment)
