There is problems for everyone as the firmware is far from ready, but it improves with every update.

Works fine for me. So not "everyone". Maybe a small percentage who use specific features and don't have the latest firmware.

Sorry didn't realise it was against CF T&C's to patronise another Cable website?

Can't help you with your gender orientation either I'm afraid although I have gelded the odd stallion in a previous life?

just simply making a passing comment

Oh NP, I pass quite a few myself but always remember to flush afterwards and wash my hands!

Well it works fine for me too with the latest trail firmware but for the people not on the trial won't they still have issues?

I doubt most people notice anything.

It's always been fine for me, even with the first firmware.
The majority of people just web browse, stream and download. It's fine for that.

The over-whelming majority don't port-forward, use Chromecast, or care about the GUI.

Your view of "everyone" is skewed by a selective set of people with problems on the forum.

My view was based on people with games consoles stuck on a strict NAS, i would think most households with kids would have a console.

But i agree if someone just wants to web browse and check email they won't see a problem with it.

Just to follow this up: The SH3 being capable of 24 channels and most people seeing 16 (twice the 8 of the SH2) sounds good in theory, but the reality has been somewhat...lacking. From my own personal experience and the experience of others on here and in the trialist forum, what seems to happen is you either get full speed in areas with no congestion (i.e. same as the SH/SH2) or marginally worse performance in areas with congestion.

If you're thinking of getting a SH3 just to help with the congestion in your area, don't bother, it seems to make little difference and can actually be worse. The only benefit of having a SH3 will be a clear path to the next speed tier without requiring a new device or engineer visit - and who knows when that will be.

Annoyingly, those are all the things I do.

Had another shot at getting a 2AC out but they were having none of it, they said they could send an engineer out, I'm thinking maybe if they do, I can get him to swap it for a 2AC but it's a massive waste of everyone's time to do that.

Depends on how important it is to you to have the kit that does what you need it to do.

You could always stick it in modem mode and use your own router.

Synthetic · 14-03-2016, 15:43

Yep, looking at AC routers now, probably be best in the long run anyway
