fibre upgrade offer

We received promotional offer from BT, offering upgrade from current DSL to Fibre 100, so we took it. Only now were a bit confused, we received the order email, it says upgrade coming on 1st, but no mention of visit from engineer or provision of new router.

to go to this Full Fibre 100 with BT Halo 1, do we not need engineer visit to actually put in fibre or is it not fibre to premises but fibre to cabinet? 

Just a bit confused.

Re: fibre upgrade offer

Fibre 100 is a G.Fast product. No engineer required. A new hub will only be sent if required.

Re: Whats the first speed that would need engineer visit

maybe you cannot get FTTP hence why you can get G.Fast

Re: fibre upgrade offer

unless your router is faulty then you will not get another router unless you upgrade to Halo 2

Re: fibre upgrade offer

Seems strange that if you're upgrading to G.fast they're not sending out a new router or engineer as both are usually needed. The engineer in particular as usually they may need to change the master socket face plate etc
