I had BT Infinity 2 installed 6 wks ago. Cable modem and HH3 installed beside master socket in bedroom (wife not happy about all flashing lights), but computer and MFC in spare bedroom. HH3 working OK, reasonable wifi in lounge but had to use homeplug (AV200) to connect PC to internet.
Cable modem to HH3 connection is Gigabyte (1000 Mb/s) ethernet and (according to engineer) slows considerably if normal (100 Mb/s) ethernet is used.
My system works ok with 56 Mb/s download and 18-20 Mb/s upload.
