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.

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.
Now go away.

BeThere is a great ISP if you download a lot. I said that in my second post.
It does need a BT line tho' and speeds vary depending how far you are from the exchange and the quality of the wiring in your house. Virgin secretly limit you to 400mb a day (More so in areas with a high broadband concentration).
Now go away.
Just Lame
I get the lot thro' Virgin and like it.
confuddled?!
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.
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.
Now go away.
