    Office Connection

    This is the sort of task that Meraki appliances excel at, especially if you are not very clued up on the technicalities of what you're doing

    I've contacted them before to say that their website says I can order but every ISP I have asked has said the CityFibre network isn't ready to order yet, and they replied telling me to use the checker on their website before ignoring any follow-up. People say Openreach are difficult to talk to...

    BT Infinity & FTTx Discussion

    As long as people insist on "free" installation and sub-£30 internet bills then the economics don't work to spend £1000 per property to connect them to a FTTP network. If you offered the people protesting against poles the option for everybody to contribute £200 to the additional costs of...

    Asus mesh solutions

    I have the X20s and it would be nice if they had 3 switch ports and were £100 for two but unless there's different hardware revisions they have two ports on each base

    Lit Fibre

    I don't think you have anything to worry about until your contract is up for renewal, and by then you will likely have 2.5Gbps service options as the Lit network is XGS-PON.

    At least Lit weren't bought up by Virgin Media

    Current advertised pricing is £21 for 150Mbps and £26 for 1Gbps so at a guess you might save £2 by opting for 500Mbps if it was an option, which isn't a saving worth making IMO.

    Feels like some of these ISPs are people wondering "how hard can it be", bring back the days of proper networking people doing it.

    Lit Fibre

    Yeah I sometimes look at the CityFibre providers and it seems like there's a lot of dross on there, probably the only Lit equivalent was No One and they've been swallowed up.

    They need to hire somebody who can spell. "If your waiting for installation", "plus you’ll be please to know", really?

    When you add a /29 block does the WAN IP you are allocated just change to being one within that block? Some ISPs (BT Business, Gamma) will give you a single WAN IP and then route the block towards you, which I prefer, but trying to get sales teams to understand the question can be like pulling...

    It's a home broadband service, and being told about maintenance is one step ahead of how the majority of the industry behaves. If you need a guarantee that you'll be able to go online at any time of the day then you need a second service running over different physical infrastructure. Even...

    ****The Official 5G Home Broadband Thread**** (Three/EE/Vodafone/etc)

    Have you checked what the MTU is on Smarty and the other networks you are comparing it to? Keep the router the same and swap the SIMs and see what the largest packet size you can send without it fragmenting is. I suspect the Three MTU is lower and it's causing issues.

    Not sure I agree with that. The majority of home routers are sticking open source projects together and putting their UI over the top, and the idea that the versions of these that shipped with a product (which will already have been old at the time the product was first available to buy) were...

    I think the key is setting prices that ensure the irritating people who buy only on price while complaining about adding 2ms to their games and taking up an hour a day of your time don't ever come near you. No One seem to have fallen into the trap of trying to offer a great service at prices...

    Trustpilot seem to be quite easy to game by companies soliciting reviews for individual interactions, so stuff like "how was this one delivery handled", "how did we answer your support query today" but then presents them as if people are reviewing the service as a whole. It's clear from reading...
