When I was asked if I had my hub and I produced something other than a BT Affinity Hub the engineer looked a bit shocked. This was the first job that he did that wasn't for BT Affinity so he didn't know that other routers could be used. Once again I see more evidence of BTs lack of communication. I must compliment the engineer though as he didn't leave until he made sure I could get connected. At first this didn't work for me after I configured the router and even though I was receiving an IP address it wasn't until I performed a hard reboot that it connected properly and brought up a web page.
I'm using the WNR1000 and I've just done a speed test:
Not bad for having just connected it!
....And here's a ping test too:

Thanks for the feedback too. I've seen a few people saying that our install is the first the engineer has done that wasn't BT Infinity. Although they have way more customers than any other ISP on FTTC so far. We're at 185 and one of the biggest after BT.

I did receive some sort of outage on Thursday 11th November around midnight. Internet was connected but I was unable to resolve any web pages either by domain name or IP address. I tried changing the DNS servers, rebooting both the router and ONT didn't make a difference. Went to bed so not sure what time it came back on. Was there an issue then?

Made me realise how unused to broadband outages I am. Can't remember last time it happened.
As this is a trial was expecting more problems. Happy enough to trade a minimum of 10 times
broadband speed increase for one short outage in 3-4 weeks.

on a side note... I recently downloaded some patches for linux at someone else's house and wondered why it was going so slow, until I was reminded they only had a 1Mbs broadband connection.
Interesting how quickly you get used to the faster FTTC connections - very similar to when I moved from dialup to broadband - initially you get the 'WOW it's fast' then after a few weeks you are no longer surprised at the speed and it becomes the 'norm', until you are brought back to reality using someone elses broadband connection.
