My full fibre hardware has not arrived

[#1]

I placed an order to upgrade to full fibre on 1st December with an engineer scheduled for 19th December.
However the required new hardware has not arrived yet. Could a Plusnet rep take a look into the delay... or is this a standard timescale and the hardware will arrive in the days leading up to the engineer appointment?
Thanks

@colbrad If by 'new hardware' you mean the Hub, this is delivered to arrive 2-3 days before the event, by Royal Mail 'Tracked24'

@colbrad what router do you currently have ?

@colbrad 

PN operate a "just in time" order process for new orders / upgrades. The Hub2 should be dispatched by Tuessday at the latest and you get an e-mail with a tracking number.

If it's an upgrade then your Hub1 can be used in an emergency.

Apologies for lack of detail on the hardware. I upgraded over the phone and was told I'd be sent a link (a ticket?) to track the progress. The link didn't work on multiple devices.

Current router is Plusnet Hub One

In the unlikely event of the Hub 2 not arriving in time, the Hub One will work fine. Just disconnect the DSL cable and connect an ethernet ( Cat5e or better ) cable from the ONT (that the Openreach engineer will install) to the WAN port on the Hub 1.

The Hub 1 has a limitation of around 30Mb on the upstream but that wont restrict anything unless you've ordered the FF 500 or FF 900 product.

Thanks for all the info folks. It's most reassuring that I can also use my current router if required.
Plusnet (Madasafish and Freenetname) customers have been / are some of the friendliest and knowledgable people I've interacted with when it comes to broadband account and technical information
