I've called them about 20 times in the past 6 months, had a BT engineer up, still not fixed
Bulldog is deserving of their poor reputation
on sky people have had their tier capped to a lower speed, lines maybe able to sync at close to full speed but if its pushing your line to its limits then you will see drops, i have heard of people on the 16mbit service being capped to 8096 down 416up, after that their broadband works fine.

yes it is that router and has four ethernet ports, im using wired as its better throughput and response

i must add its oh so sweet to be proxyless
