hi
due to a move from a city location with llu to a rural location with adsl max I am looking to have idnet for my phone and broadband.
I currently use be unlimited and they supply the above router, which has worked fine as far as I can tell.
Although I know there may be better routers and cheaper options, I am considering whether I can use the speedtouch to access idnet, to minimise faffing about time, get the internet up and working, and do all the things that need to be done after the move.
Does this make sense, and if it does how can I verify the status of the router and its ability to be used on idnet e.g. lock vs unlock, firmware level, etc etc.
This option would cost me £35 by not returning it to be, and my next best alternative is probably the idnet supplied netgear dgn1000 at around £60. I would probably have time to try out the speedtouch at the new house and send it back if it failed...
So I'm looking for the easy option to start with (I can get more complicated later when I have time) rather than the cheapest etc.
Other options including 2-wire 2700 HGV look attractive (cost, performance, support) except that for the inexperienced & time poor (me) I don't want to be going through the experience curve without internet support...
I want to plug it in set it up and go, with support over the telephone until it is all working.
thanks
