It would be interesting to see how this compares to the Huawei modem (+ router of your choice) and it has the benefit on giving you access to your line stats.

I'll wait for the price to drop!

£142 is a little steep!

and it's got Voip ports too!
I might even think about getting FTTC now, I've never liked the idea of the separate modem and router.

I wonder if BT are revealing the configuration information. The Huawei's been very much a black box until now.

It's a shame the LAN ports are only 10/100.

You wonder when router manufacturers are going to wake up to the fact that most desktop NICs are gigabit, don't you, Steve.

The pdf says they are Gigabit ports.

EDIT - The specs at the bottom say one thing but the main bulk of text above says something else.

I wouldn't want to deprive BT support of their problem solving method.
