Even when the wireless works the coverage is much poorer than an N device should be. Sit tight and hope for a "modem only" patch so you can use superior third party routers for the rest of your network.

Right, to swing back on topic.
- My network is EuroDOCSIS3 compliant as evidenced by the blue top light on the Super Hub.
- I've been on 20Mbps for over a month.
- Upload contention ratio/speed improvements should be in March/April going from the PDF on the subject and using the nearest cities.
With all this in mind, I'm hoping there will be no £30 charge for the upgrade. Either way, how can I tell when it's available in my area? My concern is that it's available right now but I have to ring 151 to take advantage of it. I'd rather check on the website to see if the 30Mbps increase is possible before ringing up so I don't have to waste lots of time speaking to various different clueless call-centre individuals across the globe. And so I don't have to plug my abysmal Super Hub in a minute sooner than needed.  |
The 30Mb upgrade is available now to all users. The only difference is that you will only get 1Mb upload if your area has not been upgraded for the faster upload. When it is you'll get 3Mb up.
