Record one then watch another, ive got videos with programs on i still haven't watched. I don't have time to sit down and watch and recorded endless American c**p, and as for football please explain that.

tunnie - if you want to borrow a pair of powerline adapters (200Mbit or 500Mbit), let me know.. I'm not using my 200Mbit pair and I'm 'rarely' using the 500Mbit ones.

Cheers. Might very well so that. Been informed Fibre has now been installed. Week after next will be setting my office up, so may need these.

Thanks

So why rant about only being able to watch one thing at a time? 

Sports is an addon.

There is no law saying you need pay tv, so why worry?

Maybe i should rant about Holland & Barret, all those expensive, pointless pills? Cowboy company that

To me, if the super hub 2 wasn't so good, I would of kept the n900 wifi router, and just plugged it into whatever router they send.

The n900 wifi router has greater range than the sh2 by about 20ft even sending the signal from the far side of the house, with dual band networks over 2.4 and 5ghz.

That was all really.

In my London flat I had Virgin's 'Super Hub', all I can say is that it was super shite!

1 one bed flat, wifi struggled to reach the bedroom from the living room, the walls were solid (1936 build), but still should have done better.

I will have had all 3 soon, so be good to compare.

[chrisgixer]

Both networks?

Yes, super hub one was an awful bit of kit (Netgear CG3101D)

[chrisgixer]

Sorry yes. Superhub 1 was a disgrace. Hence we complained and got the 2, which was initially reserved for customers with 100meg packages.

2 is Far far better. (And has two networks, one on 2.4ghz and one on 5ghz like the n900 wifi router.)

They have now dropped the sh1. All Vm customers now get sh2. Genuine only of course.

Not surprised it was terrible, not even basic proxy options

TB Towers uses a Draytek 2920n, only does 2.4Ghz wifi (mines quite old now), but very good wifi coverage, despite the hostile environment (39 other 2.4Ghz APs visible from router location). Also has the capability to do other stuff well...  ...if only Draytek didn't keep cocking up the firmwares 

Pricey, even compared to the ASUS, but worth it. Looking at replacing, due to age, but nothing else seems to fit the bill.

The HH5 has no fibre port, it does have an integrated VDSL modem (as you are often supplied a seperate naff VDSL modem so it does away with this)

The vDSL modem supplied by OR isn't a bad performer, assuming you have the right one (ideally needs to match DSLAM manufacturer). And the earlier versions of the Huawei ones cook, but should have been swapped out a couple of years back
