Quote: hullbg "He wont have the thomson on BT. The thomson router on karoo packages is truly awful though and should be reserved as an emergency router should your main one fail. You can pick up decent netgear routers off ebay for next to nothing now the DG834GT models work very well.'"


Was Thomson the god awful SpeedTouch one?

Does anyone use anything other than NetGear nowadays?

So, in your expert opinion, what should everyone be using, a couple of cans and some string perhaps?

Quote: Standee "Was Thomson the god awful SpeedTouch one?

They had the speedtouch a while back but that was just a usb modem AFAIK. They then introduced the Thomson 585 usb modem/router all in one. It does the job but you get some terrible results with it.

As for Solinus

Cisco is about the best you can buy but they are expensive.

Belkin are godawful nowadays they have really gone downhill

Netgear are the best low cost routers on the market and what 90% of home users are now using.

Quote: Standee "Which BT package are you on, how far from the exchange and which of their home hubs do you have, I got sent a new one with the accelerator, plugged it in and after a day I stuck the old one back in!'"


I'm on the unlimited option 3 package.Not sure how far from the exchange I am I think its about 3 miles away in North Cave. In terms of home hub I have the white vertical unit (not at home so can't look for the manufacturer) not the latest black gloss one. I think its down to peak times as I went on this morning and got 5.3mb download but between 4 and 8 all I can get is the paltry 1.3 to 1.5. BT say they don't prioritise usage like karoo (hence the benefit of a gamer profile). Still waiting on the accelerator plate to arrive and try that.

A colleague of mine reported a long series of calls to Karoo when he first got his broadband installed but only recieved dial up like connections. Eventually the help desk suggested he try removing his sky box from the phone line which resolved all issues. Just a hint for anyone on Karoo.

ON THE 8TH DAY GOD CREATED THE SCOTS GUARDS AND THE DEVIL STOOD TO ATTENTION:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47247.jpg



Quote: Standee "It says he can get an average of 6mb, I've done all the usual stuff as you suggested (and a few other things) but above 4mb is as good as it gets, the problem is KC have spent nothing on their infrastructure in the West Hull villages for ages, he's probably on copper wire to an ancient exchange that has had the bare minimum done to allow it to provide broadband.'"


Ask him to contact their technical dept and ask for a "pair" changeover, it may improve the job for him, the pair he is on now may be as you say copper and old or wet but there are fibre in that area I believe
