Re: Broadband Hardware Trial 2015
Just a thought. If it is a trial of new speeds and hardware, what effect does this have on bills? Like if you are on the top package and you test a router that delivers a higher speed does that impact on the bills?

No. The test device is usually set up on a completely separate test account, it has no impact on your normal account and, in fact, you can usually plug both devices in at the same time (shh).

Oh well no email for me, and I used to trial a lot of stuff as a staff trialist.

I was never able to do this, when i was on the SH2ac trial my SH2 stopped working, i found this out when my SH2ac went pear shaped and i had to get Tech to put my old SH2 back onto my account.

I think the SH2 and SH2ac might have been different as internally they are nearly identical. See what happens with this next one.

Ooh an excuse to spend that £150 to build myself a newer mITX pfSense box! Dual WAN config here we come... maybe.
