Wow. I'm scheduled for the 1st Dec 2011. I'm amazed my little village is getting any attention!So will it be a simple upgrade? I see on IDNet site there is a fee of £96?
From recent experience the BT broadband web site check your speed is upto date for recent FTTC roll outs. My rfs was 31/12 but it has been available for about a week.
It requires a BT visit, the engineer will install a BT-supplied modem (which remains their property), but you will need a new router. There must be an available power socket within reach of the BT master socket.
You can't use an ADSL modem/router, you will need a Cable/Fibre routerHere are a few http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=46&catid=1596
Pretend i'm thick for a minute...... If BT are sticking in their own modem, would I be able to connect an Apple "Airport Extreme" router. (I have an iMac) http://www.apple.com/uk/airportextreme/specs.html
I'd strongly recommend you give the cheaper Netgear routers a miss. I had significant problems with throughput using a Netgear router and it was only when I swapped it for a more expensive/powerful router that the problems went away.
