My full fibre hardware has not arrived

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

Re: My full fibre hardware has not arrived

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.

Re: My full fibre hardware has not arrived

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 Thumbs_Up
