My package is 800mbps. Asked unifi and I get this,
It seems like the "special upgrade" remark may mean 800mbps will get 2gbps, else those with 800mbps get the least benefit in this campaign. Everyone else get double speed upgrade, but 800mbps get only 1/4 speed upgrade.
CPE should mean Customer Premises Equipment, which include BTU and router. For 800mbps customers, the BTU and router should already support 1gbps as the network port speed scaling is 100mbps, 1gbps, 2.5gbps etc. So, if the CPE replacement is required, it means that it should be more than 1gbps.
The 2gbps package unifi is offering is actually 1gbps+1gbps, some sort like load balancing style. So perhaps the CPE replacement is due to this?
I think there is some reasons why it need a CPE renew. (my guess only)
1.The last dlink onr given in last year is not stable enough for users to use it,and they decided to terminated the ONR for newer unifi users.
2.Many user that using 1/2gbps plan cant hit more than 940mbps with cable,and they complain about it. (So a 2.5Gbps BTU might be needed for those high speed users)
3.The current BTU given was setup with only Port 1 is internet.(Which mean the max speed without changing current BTU will be 1gbps(Actual max speed-930mbps)
,those BTU might be reusable by reconfigure,but some of those is old,and the device is aging,and performance might not be enough to run 2gbps.
4.There are alot of area unifi infrastructure is not updated to support high speed plan,which might be a problem when there are more household under same OLT that subscribe to higher speed plan and running at the same time.
So it should be the reasons why the unifi still haven't upgrade current 800mbps or higher speed plan.
And i guess within 30-45days it should be some update news about it, since the Chinese new year had just passed.
