The day has come when my ÂŁ25pm Toob Fibre 900/900Mbps, via CityFibre infrastructure, was finally installed.
After all the wiring was done, the new Toob router was connected, and I started testing.
To my surprise, Toob switched to a different Linksys Velop model than I initially expected. I have been supplied with Linksys SPNMX56 (SPNMX56TB to be exact), which, by default, comes with a 2.5 Gbps WAN port.
From my previous post, where I chose ÂŁ40 Linksys MX4200 as my next router, I did an analysis of my needs, and I concluded that I am fine with a 1Gbps WAN port. Toob’s approach to go with 2.5Gbit is more future-proof thinking. If they want to offer higher plans, they will not need to replace hardware. For my needs and 900Mbps connection, the 1Gbps (1000Mbps) port is more value for money.
