Why the shudder for ZyXEL?


Dunno, just a nasty feeling I get when I see one. Cheap and nasty things, maybe it's just the people who buy them that make me shudder

Ah! MK! I'll keep quiet, I know there are lots of BT haters in the MK community so I wouldn't want one of their spys dobbing me in.

As I understand it most of the nextwork is TPON (fiber to the cab and copper for the last 1km or so) I think the main problem is they can't get the DSL DSLAM's small ehough to feed all 300+ customers off one cab, if they could MK would be the best place in England for broadband as everyone could have 8Mbps+.

If you buy the Draytek make sure you can return it easily if it doesn't work, it is probably a good router, it is just I have seen quite a few of them, and in my line of work you get worried if you see more than a couple of brands more than once causing problems. Could be in my head I suppose.

Ali cable! BT Network! Still there! Dunno what you are on about Guv

Cheers
