Full Fibre 500 regrade

johnels79 — Tue, 04 Aug 2020 16:23:01 GMT

Hi All,

I was recently connected to full fibre in July and am on the Full Fibre 300, last week I took up their special offer of Full Fibre 500 with Halo for the same price. My question is that it was supposed to regrade but nothing has changed with with my speeds and account. It just says I have Halo 1 now. Any ideas how long it takes and is it automatic or done by an open reach engineer?

Many Thanks

John

I would have expected you to see Fibre500 listed in your account.

Did you receive an order email and completed order confirmation about the regrade to Fibre500?

How are you checking there hasn’t been any difference?

You could also try power cycling the ONT and smart hub but make sure you leave the ONT switched off for at least 5mins.

There appears to be a problem with regrades due a BT Wholesale system change causing orders to fail.

@Forthay Checking my BT account it still shows Full Fibre 300 but added Halo 1 to the end. Orders still showing as open and no change to the speed using the BT speed tester. Tried power cycling but no change as yet. Will give it a few days and then call.

I the order is still showing as open then it looks like it has failed as per the article I linked to. There is a fix expected next week but it may still take time to get through the backlog.
