General : Another price rise for stand alone customers?

Thanks for that, I'll definitely keep that in mind if I decide to get a second line in.

As for this year I had one in February and therefore downgraded my service from the old 60Mb (Now 100) to the new 50Mb (the old 30) to save about £10. Now its going up again Should have had one in October 2013 too. See http://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php...rice-hike.html

I must have been lucky! Just rechecked my bills and certainly didn't have an increase in Oct 2013. I think if it had gone up that much last year I would have thrown the towel in and gone for PlusNet Fibre as I also have a BT phone line. Never went to NTL/VM landline phone because historically the service was dire in this area compared to BT.

Because you don't know everything? and because you can't possibly let him know about my experience until A. I've had it and B you are me

So leave it there.

Nobody said anything about your experience, <deleted>.

Nor do I need to know everything to know how the switch works on a router which I've written and compiled a switch driver and operating system for myself.

See the attachments, should put your mind at ease. Ports 1-4 can be WAN ports, 2-5 LAN, 5 is DMZ if so configured.

I'm just looking at it now as it just arrived. I am hoping it really is as plug and play as people say. I don't want anything fancy from it - just to do what it should
