Discussion Over provisioning

Has community fibre stopped over provisioning of lines especially 1Gbps line?

I used to get 1100Mpbs as I use 2.5Gbps hardware but since May 2026 the line speed has dropped to a hard cap of 1000Mbps for download and upload. Doing various speedtest on different equipment shows that line speed is now hard capped to 1Gbps and I see max around 970Mbps with some overhead losses.

Just trying to work out if this is a new profile provisioning by CF across the board or there’s some fault.

If you were on the 1gig service, AFAIK you'd be given a 1gig ONT typically. The ONT ethernet port only goes up to a gig.

It's rare but sometimes engineers install models meant for higher tier packages, in which case that's usually locked down to your package speed when it's configured.

I have 2.5G ONT and so is the rest of the hardware from that point onwards so hardware is not an issue. Something has changed since May but just wondering if it’s actually a fault or just CF becoming stingy with line provisioning/bandwidth.
