It seems it was the old Billion 7800N that was creating high latency (yellow) when running Skype. Switched to my Zyxel VMG8924-B10A combo and much reduced.

That said, both routers agree on a mental impossible high speed. nearly 90mb at cab and me connecting at OVER 80mb with 75mb speedtest at 425m. Something really mad about my BB. had a massive burst of disconnections this afternoon on the Zyxel.

.... but for exchanges where they have no presence/kit, they will use BTW for their "off-net" products.

I am hoping pulse8 are much better and would anyone know if the percentage against my cabinet P44 means it's 96% utilised?

Much appreciated I am learning already (complete noob when it comes to this stuff)

New line is going in on the 4th of Jan so just under 3 weeks to wait.

Just got my first phone bill, £45ish for line rental, fibre, caller ID and static IP and... 58p for calls compared to the £8 I would have paid for unlimited calls with Sky.

No complaints from me!

So still impressed then skillty?
