Pay £65 for 1600Mbps… Get 1000Mbps. What a Deal!
Paying £65 a month for a 1600Mbps connection with Zen Internet? Sounds amazing, right? You’d think you’re about to experience lightning-fast speeds across your entire setup. Well… not quite. Zen proudly gives you a “free” Eero Pro 6E router with your plan — very generous. Except there's one tiny detail they forget to mention upfront: this shiny little box has a single 2.5Gbps input port for your connection… and all of its output (LAN) ports? You guessed it — limited to 1Gbps. So unless you plan on downloading movies directly into the router’s imagination, you’re stuck at 1Gbps on ethernet. Yes, even though you’re paying for 1600Mbps. Want to actually use what you’re paying for via ethernet? Zen’s got a solution — you can rent another modem from them! Brilliant, isn’t it? Let’s recap: I pay £65 a month, they promise me 1600Mbps, but the hardware they provide can’t deliver that speed over ethernet — unless I pay extra. Honestly, it’s impressive how creatively misleading this is. In 2025, I’d expect a bit more transparency — or at least a router that doesn’t bottleneck my entire connection. If you're thinking of switching to Zen for the ultra-fast speeds, just know you’ll need to jump through a few (paid) hoops to actually experience them. Great internet, shady tactics.
