Re: New deal - any good?

I use a Belkin G+ MIMO router, and have no problems with it. Occasionally (slightly more frequently lately, but still occasionally) it needs a reset at the power socket, but otherwise it's a very capable router, very configurable, and has MAC address filtering.

The belkin wireless G is a 100mb 4port switch with DHCP server and 100mb internet controller to feed clients which are on the switch

I live in a big town, and fastest I can get on ADSL is 0.5Mb. To get a good speed you have to be within 4 miles of the exchange, and that's the route of the cable run, and not the quickest route by car.

Not many people are 4+miles from their exchange.

Big citys...fine...i suppose, but in big citys both VM and ADSL are a load of crap.

Interesting... I live on the outskirts of a major town, within a mile or so of major north south & east west routes & only 60 miles from London. I wouldn't say its the middle of Nowhere but the max ADSL I could get was 2Mb - which due ti ISP data management is now just over 1Mb - my next door neighbour cannot get ADSL at all and our Exchange is unbundled

Feel free to ignore me
