So virgin have a fault in our area. Estimate fix 4pm..
**** happens I know. But does anyone run a backup connection for times like these.
4g solution or maybe a BT line for sky or other?
I'm in the process of doing this. Have a Virgin connection (which in fairness has been pretty good), but as I can work from home I thought it would be a good idea to get a backup BT line.
So far so bad. Openreach are a painful company to work with if you don't want something bog standard (want the cable underground rather than from a pole). First engineer turned up. Was gone within 30 seconds as he can only do pole work and can't run a cable through already laid conduit.
I also need to get my external Virgin box moved (due to having building work done) and Virgin are also just as crap. Engineer turned up, he can't do it - I needed the construction team as the job required a cable repull. I knew there was a reason I was on the phone to them for 30 mins and spoke to 6 different people - for them to send out the wrong people for the job!
Assuming I finally manage to get these useless companies to do what I've paid them for, I should have them setup within the next few weeks.
I'll be using my Unifi USG Pro 4 with them. I imagine I'll use load balancing with them rather than failover.
