Hi
Have plusnet and skybox.
Whenever I am downloading a film from sky all other devices (iPads/phones etc) shut down in terms of wifi. The film takes forever to download. In fact like tonight, the film simply does not download. BUT my PC which is connected directly via an ethernet cable carries on as normal.
Can this be rectified with a better wifi hub? Think I might go elsewhere. Been with Plusnet for sometime now. Never really worked.
David

Hi David,
If you haven't done so already it might be worth changing the wireless channel and see if the same issue happens.

Which one of the 3 routers do you have?
The Hub One is the latest router offered (and is hardware wise the same as a BT Home Hub 5 Type A).
Most "free" routers are free for a reason, they are manufactured down to a price.
Many people buy their own device but if you are thinking of going elsewhere anyway I would hold off until you have moved and seen if the newer ISP offers a better router. But at the cheap end of the ISP market, that isn't really likely to happen. The more expensive ISPs may supply a brand named device, e.g. Zen offer a £139 FRITZ!Box 3490 for free on their fibre products.

You can use any device that is suitable for FTTC . A good list of all-in-one modem/routers is maintained at http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,14436.0.html with discussions of the various devices. (it says VDSL2 in the title which is the technical name for the technology used in FTTC aka Fibre Broadband)
