Just to update, I moved up to the 900/100 package, and the built-in speed test of the UCG-Ultra is measuring close to 900Mb so it appears there's certainly no issue.

If it's helpful to anyone else, IPv6 seems to work too, and setup was very, very quick and easy using my Aquiss-supplied /56 PD. Now to actually learn IPv6 and how firewalling works with it, how to get my IPv6 devices talking to my custom internal DNS servers (which also now have IPv6 addresses) etc etc.

I'm using Dream Machine SE. No issues. IPv6 took a few minutes of chasing to setup, but the latest updates have made the screen a lot clearer for that.
I'm getting better performance with this rather than my old router.

Attached setup just in case anybody new to UniFi wants a quick setup for Openreach connection to Aquiss

I've set my IPv6 as SLAAC on each of my networks/VLANs. Is that likely to be an issue?

I have a UCG and am considering Aquiss — do you have IDS/IPS turned on and do the speeds look okay with external speed tests? I have read that the on-device one doesn’t follow the security rules.

Thanks!

I don't have it turned on. Reasonably pointless on a home network, and I'm not doing any MITM so most activity will be missed anyway.

I am running Ultra with 4.0.5 and 8.2.93 software and getting 928 download and 110 upload with all adblocking and IDP/IPS enabled.
Previously I ran Pfsense but decided to go with unifi for now just to experiment. I think version 3.2.18 also fixes the speeds issue.

One caveat, I didn't enable ipv6, I constantly had an issue with ipv6 on pfsense as well, plus if you doing adblocking or just DNS shielding ipv6 leaks a lot.

I'm new to Aquiss (connection setup 6 Jan) but not new to Unifi and I have the same settings as you but can't get an IPv6 address on my UDR, I can see in the Aquiss portal we've been assigned an IP but the UDR doesn't pick it up, I raised a support ticket but Martin suggested I tried the forums.

Does anyone have any experience with a UDR (Unifi Dream Router)? Previously with Virgin and so also new to IPv6...

in Internet settings enable the DHCPv6 and prefix 56, then go to the Network and under networks for each, in Ipv6 Tab enable Prefix delegation and after a few minutes it should start working, you can test using https://test-ipv6.com

Personally I have disabled it since if you use any "ad-blocking" on unifi it doesn't work with ipv6 enabled, also I had issues with amazon prime video and Disney plus and yahoo finance, so not sure if that's really needed for home use.
