I saw a post in one of these threads saying Homehub 5 Type B works better with fibre connections than Type A. Given BT provide both types for fibre, I would be surprised if there was much in it but I wanted to ask if there was any truth in this that anyone is aware of?
Cheers, Andy.

Quote from: donka I'm just wondering if I should be looking to replace this HH5 or not when we switch to fibre?
If you're not satisfied with the HH5's vdsl connection you can always use the supplied BT modem and connect that to the HH5's ewan port.

Im actually getting slightly higher download speeds than with the Openreach modem/Plus net router combo.

As for the chipset, some people actually prefer BT's ECI modems with the Lantiq chipset so I would wait and see. -- do some testing when you're up and running to see what suits your line.
If you can get the BT installer to leave you a Huawei modem not a ECI one you'll then be able to test both chipsets without any extra expense.

So your advice would be to stick with the Type A provided the new profile is rolled out to all DSLAM cabinets? Also, which router did you swap out the HH for?

Yeah, I'd hang fire until you've at least had the opportunity to see how things perform.

A Technicolor 589vn v3, although the Type A is back on the line at the moment.
