If you are trying to wind me up carry on wasting your time!

If your on about homehub; with no problems, give it a few months LOL (I was with bt for about 5 years)

Sold the Homehub on ebay! Infinity comes with a modem (and a Homehub), I just hooked up my router and good to go!

It uses PPPoE for the connection so a cable router is spot on!

I have a feeling the VMNG300 will have no problem dealing with the following setup.

That switch was 99p from eBay... cost the original owner Â£150!

I have a feeling the Superhub will take one look at that and roll over and die!:D:D

It did... but that was back when there were a "mere" eight or nine devices, not 16+ with about half of those accessing the internet simultaneously as it is now (wireless devices not pictured, obviously). :D

So it seems the Virginmedia connection is rock solid, just a question of the superhub handling that connection? I would be happy if I was VM as the connection is always great but the CPE is a let down.

On Infinity the equipment can be fine but the connection fails.

DMZ to the switch it would be ok but of course NAT twice is not ideal.

What do you base that comment on? Would you like to see my SamKnows report for the last month?

Remember that many people have a sound Virginmedia connection even though some have a poor connection, the same will be true of BT Infinity as it may be the area has poor coverage.

I don't deny that masque, but as you know I don't suffer fools gladly. I've stuck up for VM in the past regarding my connection just as I will for BT now.:D

I do ferequent the BT Infinity forum you know.:D:D:D:D

I know that but different areas can have completely different results for the identical product as per your Virginmedia connection compared to mine and we are maybe 200 miles at the most apart.

The same is probably likely with BT Infinity in even fairly local areas.

I know a standard BT connection here through a phone line would be lucky to give me 2Mb due to my location as we are right at the edge of the local exchanges coverage.

Err it's a switch, where does the second NAT come in?

Which as far as Infinity is concerned means nothing.

Infinity as you should know is FTTC the same as VM. It's just the last bit from the cab that's delivered differently.

You did notice the other part of that post which was not comparing BT broadband to either Virginmedia cable or BT Infinity.

But this post didn't cover standard BT connection which did come first from you.

Enough off topic though. The VMNG300 is still an excellent piece of kit!
