Upgrading to Wifi 7 Smart Hub Pro without full fibre?

It's all in the title. Can some technical whizz break down the pros and cons?

Essentially, is it a good idea to upgrade from Smart Hub2 to Smart Hub Pro wifi 7 when I only have the normal 67 fibre package and not the full fibre?

Have people done this, and does it noticably improve 1) Speed 2) Latency 3) Range 4) stability ?

Thanks

Chris

The Smart Hub Pro WiFi 7 does not have an ADSL/Gfast modem and would require an external modem for FTTC.

@Chris_Gee  The speed is governed by your contracted tariff speed.  Ie 67meg  you’ll not get faster because of having a wifi 7  router it’s still 67 meg. 

To contact EE Customer Services dial 150 From your EE mobile or 0800 956 6000 from any other phone.

It would be overkill even if it had a DSL modem or you'd supply 1.
