Does the Hub One connect to the faceplate with standard RJL11 cable? If so I have been looking at a 3m RJ11 lead do I can put the router somewhere more practical. Is such an extension a a bad idea? If not should the cable be shielded?
My ADSL has been flaky at times and I have had best results with Broadcom chipset routers. It seems the Hub One is not Broadcom so I have been looking at the Billion 8800NL. Are there any other routers with Broadcom chipsets worth considering, preferably cheaper than the Billion but at least no more expensive?
TIA

Yes. However you will probably find that the faceplate and router will actually take an RJ45 ( 8 pin ) connector in which case a standard CAT6 ethernet patch cable will be fine ( and a lot cheaper than an RJ11 one )

It now comes with a 2 meter power cable and 2 meter data cable.

@ Cedlor: I only ordered today, unsure how long delivery takes for the router

Are you sure about that? I'd be surprised if the modem/router accepted a RJ45 plug in its DSL socket.

Quote Centralised vDSL filtering is then provided negating the need for plug in microfilters with an RJ45/RJ11 socket providing the connection for a modem/router.

Yes, so was I, but I've just connected a TG589n VDSL modem/router in the office and I'm pretty sure that accepted an RJ45 plug in it's VDSL port as well
