If you want to go proper budget budget then I can recommend these from decathlon: http://www.decathlon.co.uk/evo-snow-otg-s3-ski-goggles-id_8286089.html http://www.decathlon.co.uk/s1-snow-lens-id_8226285.html Have served me well in flat light and sunny conditions, easily interchangeable lens...

FWIW Rroff I switched to Sky because of the BT routing issue and Sky doesn't have the same problem. I know we've discussed this before but I am in zone 3 SW London and was getting routed to Sheffield and back. Daft. Sky is very nice though:

That sounds like it could be DNS related - have you tried using google's DNS servers (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) instead of whatever is assigned via the router?

If I were trying to do the same thing and it was very very important to me, I'd look at a linode VPS in their New York datacentre and setting up my own VPN

I think you've got a little bit of interleaving, and it looks like your traffic is heading up north to Manchester before heading back down to London, which might add a little latency too. There's nothing you can do about any of this right now. It's not at all related to DNS. Without meaning...

Wireless is usually bad - powerline ethernet adapters are probably your best bet. They add 3-4ms of latency but are very consistent.

3-4ms is about right. But if you're not getting <1ms with a direct ethernet cable you have a (possibly serious?) problem!

I would have switched to Zen a few months ago if they'd been offering it then (instead of Sky). Pity.

You're not actually getting a ping of 0 though... Ping bbc.co.uk for something approaching reality.

Doesn't EU law require a 2 year warranty?

Don't use OpenDNS, they do that horrible 'invalid domain, here's a site full of ads' crap. I would recommend OpenNIC or Google DNS.

Pity Sainsbury didn't back their employee up instead of capitulating to some rude posho moron.

Don't understand why you have the second router - why not just a switch? Also, had a look at this dummy tomato GUI here: http://victek.is-a-geek.com/virtual/tomatok26/basic-network.html Can you set WAN/Internet to disabled and then 'Use WAN port for LAN'? Then disable DHCP on the tomato router...

Yes, you're probably too far from the cabinet.

If you have the TG582n it doesn't have gigabit ports, so you'll need a gigabit switch too, which you can then plug into the Be router.

If you do the LAN2 port thing, I'm fairly sure you won't get access to the rest of your network. Say, 85% confidence. But it sounds like you're wanting to entirely replace the router PlusNet provide? Any router that supports PPPoE will do the job, though it's worth checking that it'll handle...

Air NZ have a route via the US - either LAX or SFO I think. So you could possibly just go east the entire way, which will reduce overall travel times a little bit. eg. this: 22:30 London Heathrow Sat 7 --> Sep 17:50 Hong Kong Sun 8 Sep 19:10 Hong Kong Sun 8 Sep --> 10:00 Auckland Mon 9...

I'm thinking SteamBox.

Ah nice one, thanks for the update!

I think I used the pdf guide here: http://routerconfig.me/legacy/sky/ The one ending 'v2'! Then installed the 1.06h firmware from the Billion site, here: http://www.billion.uk.com/esupport/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/322/79/bipac-7800n-firmware-106h Then it was just a matter of...
