Anything below 15-20ms I wouldn't quibble over. Personally on my FTTP line, I get 10ms to majority of UK servers.

Cancel Sky :D

Yes, much better hard-wired together. If you let them mesh wirelessly you lose a lot of bandwidth.

Out of interest how did Openreach carry out your installations, did they install new poles for your homes?

Not far off, I moved to an altnet recently (MS3) on a 1Gb symmetrical service. Got the first 3 months for 99p, then £29pm thereafter! No 'goes up to £40/50/60pm' either at end of contract. Very happy with it. :D

Yep, same as mine. House built in the 80s, BT in their infinite wisdom decided to install armoured copper cable - no ducting! I caught an Openreach auditor checking the work last year after they installed FTTP in my area. The chap reckoned they'd survey direct buried lines on a case-by-case...

What services does the BT checker state for your address are available? https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome

VPN & RDP for our servers. Client PC/laptops it's Teamviewer - not terribly keen personally!

They've made a blog post detailing the planned pricing changes... https://unraid.net/blog/pricing-change As @Avalon states, they're re-affirmed that any existing license holders are unaffected & will retain lifetime updates.

I was gonna say, nothing wrong giving them a go. FTTP by anyone is gonna be a stellar upgrade if you're on ADSL/FTTC. If they go bust, they'll be taken over or bought out by someone anyway. So your connection should be (hopefully) maintained by someone else.

Worth a shot... The worst they can say is £120 fee please lol

I have a home/media server running Unraid, so have Omada running on a docker. :)

Personally go with Aruba, good quality kit. Not really sure how Zyxel kit performs these days. If you're willing to put other models in the mix, I personally went for the TP-Link Omada EAP670 last year. Works brilliantly.

Easiest solution to me, would be to get a VoIP phone handset? Get rid of the old analogue phone.

tl;dr people have different priorities when it comes to shopping round for broadband, and varying degrees of free time. 'Nuff said - neither is wrong. :D

That's literally what he said :p

What's your current router/wifi setup?

Sheesh. What's the plan for that then, for home? :p

Quite enjoyed it tbh, we all know what the score with it. :D

Yes. I gave VM notice 2 weeks ago, contract ends 26th March. They originally tried doing it 30 days from when I spoke to them, charging me for the last month. I asked them to end it for when my contract ends and they have.
