Anyone have any experience with the Draytek Vigor 165 (B) in the UK? Appears to be readily avaliable via various online shops in EU and also Amazon UK. The thing is there are 2 variants of the this modem, Annex A (RJ11) and Annex B (RJ 45). Was thinking of ordering from Amazon but they only have Annex B option.
I am on FTTC (about 570m from cabinet) and currently have a FB 7530 modem router which I am very impressed with as it has increased my speeds from 65Mbs to 76Mbps withan SNR of 3.
The problem I have with the FB is that I it cannot be put it into bridge mode (I prefer seperates) however, the FB does has an Annex A or B option in the GUI and I can connect using either of options (syncs slighlty faster on Annex B).
Interestingly the vigor has same/similar xDSL chipset to the FB (Intel VRX518) which is why Im keen to try it. The FB is syncing 10mbs faster than my billion and TP link modems both with broadcom xDS.
I called Draytek UK but they seem unaware of the 165(?!) and could tell me nothing.
Any thoughts at all?? And what is the UK VDSL standard please with respect to Annex type??
