im tempted to buy a new router like, but i dont want to spend any more money on the internet than actually buying the line
You get a more reliable connection with a BT home hub.
It says so on the TV so it must be true. They wouldn't lie.
They tell me there's no virgin up my street. Not any more. :naughty:
The BT Home Hub is the single worst piece of equipment known to man by most accounts.
I was reading an article in PC specialist about it. They recommended the best fix for it was to bin it. I agree.
AllenS had one and it was fucking awful.
thank you:)Quote:

I get the lot thro' Virgin and like it.
what about limits on your connection?
I find with BT that it's not so much about how far you are from the exchange than what time of day it is.
I get the full 8 megs from about midnight 'til about 1pm the next day. All the time in between has wank speeds.
Still, the Home Hub is alright, like. I've got two ethernet and a wireless connection running off of it and it's not altogether disastrous.
Aye, AllenS had that peak-time capping problem as well. Doesn't the connection drop out on your HomeHub then. :unsure:
AllenS had to turn his off at the plug about 10 times a day. As a consequence of that it would lose all his port settings and his BT client would be unconnectable. Nub.
