Show a Traceroute to Facebook, be interesting if they have it going through different routes etc.

So im thinking of getting one of those HG612 modems. What version does it have to be? Or does that not matter?

Thanks

I got BT Infinity yesterday, the HH5 is still in its box I got a Billion 8800nl set it in bridge mode and used my Billion 8700DXL as the router, that setup is working very nice!

I am also getting this problem. I have times where pictures will not load and it takes an age to refresh (HG612 + HH5)

Sorry if this question sounds daft. But whats the difference between VDSL and VDSL2?

Ive just had Infinity 2 installed. Getting 65 down and 15 up.

I was thinking of getting this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-127-TP

Will it work with VDSL?

Thanks.

Vdsl is just an older standard which supports 55/3 max. Bto uses vdsl2

Hey guys i dont know if someone can help but my line is currently interleaved. When it changes back to fastpath will it reset my router or do i take my chances and reset it myself in a few days???

MissChief · 6 Jun 2015 at 21:24

If you reset the router you run the risk of the DLM seeing it as instability. Leave it on and check in a few days.

Yeah - I thought it was my router and rebooted the lot and its been fine since - I noticed tho that my IP changed from its normal 31.x.x.x or 32.x.x.x or whatever to a 5.x.x.x IP though.

It shouldn't do if it is a "controlled" restart.
I was informed on some otehr forums (although I only have his word for it) that when you power down a router using a power button, the exchange is signalled - that this is an expected shutdown and should not be treated as instability.
If you just "yank out the power cable" then there is no opportunity for the signal to be sent and DLM can be implimented.

Then you read a load of rubbish, there is nothing that clever built in to the routers/btor modems. If you hit approx 10 resets in a 24 hr period then DLM will kick in, it collects stats every 15 mins
