No problem at all.
Works well with Infinity & PlusNet as well as Sky's Fibre.

I have been using a 7800n with plusnet fibre for a week now.
I thought everything was going well, however I wasn't very happy with my speeds. The dl speed was nowhere near the estimate for the line.
I was getting ~33mbps to ~37mpbs
Plusnet support just asked me to connect directly via the fibre modem over PPPoE and try some speed tests then. Now I am getting ~60-70mbps dl speed (but very variable ul speeds ~4mbps - 12mbps)
Connecting back through the 7800n resulted in the ~33mbps / ~15mbps again.
So it doesn't seem to be able to utilise the full bandwidth available. Has anyone else tried a speed comparison or have any idea why the speed should be so poor through the 7800n? I am using firmware 1.06g
[EDIT]
After a bit of searching I found this

I can confirm any QoS rules defined will limit throughput to around 34mbps.
