I use those but have been advised to purchase the 500Mb Powerlines as they can drop a large amount. Just hoping a get a good speed out of them when my SHub 2 arrives.

Yes, and that wasn't my point

I have a Samsung SMART player BD - F6500. I was wondering If anyone knows as to weather the wireless runs at the 5ghz band or not. I have read the manual but can't find any reference to this, unless I have missed it.

My point being, looking at the tests above, would I be better using my 500Mb Powerline or use the wireless function of the player?

Well, got installed at the new place yesterday - actually got a three man team (trainee).

Completely new install (no cable at the property previously). The line actually comes into the living room, splits into 3 and then goes back outisde to go up the building and into the bedroom. A bit weird but ok.

Importantly, though - got a Superhub 2! I've not had a chance to play with it much but so far I'm quite impressed as I've had no issues with it (Admittedly, not done much other than browse the internet a bit via PC/Laptop and phones).

Here's what the speed test looks like:



And because I know people will complain about the above being a VM hosted speed test, here's the Namesco London result:



Just set up a TBB monitor. No idea how long this will last as I'll be plugging in my N66u soon enough, meaning my IP will probably change. From the tiny bit I can see, it's not looking too shiny but we'll see how it looks in the morning. Internet connection itself seems fine currently.



And for completeness, a pingtest:



EDIT: Modem stats!



I'm a bit surprised there's only 6 downstream channels, but I'm hoping it's just because this area doesn't need higher capacity.

I don't have that issue, i never used guest and all my devices work fine, so not sure what is going on there.

I am not sure why your pingtest failed for packet loss though.

Hi Kushan

Is it normal to have post RS errors?
From what I've been reading it has something to do with local noise ingress.

[Sephiroth]

There is alwasy post-RS noise becasue at the momnts when a modem is booted, it hasn't sync'd and the data it receives for a short time is unintelligible.

In service, there should be no post RS-errors and the rate of growth indicates the scaleof problem.

Thanks Seph.

Here's my latest speed test results from Sky - roll on wednesday!

[Wild Oscar]

Apologies if this has been answered already folks ...

Are all old customers destined to get one of these over time , or would it only be supplied in new installs and by demand?

Just curious ...

I believe it is meant to be supplied on new installs 60mbit and up but i am not 100% sure.

Anyone else can ring up and buy 1 for £49.95(installation fee) although there have been cases where people have got it far cheaper and have sometimes blagged a free one.
