Is there any truth in that using an all in one vdsl modem/router like the billion one above giving better sync speeds?

Billion 8800NL was great all in one including VDSL2 modem with broadcom chipset on it and work well with G.INP enabled but the wifi is not at his best (only 2.4GHz support) but 1 lan port of 1GHz to pc by ethernet direct cable will be fine for FTTC 80/20.

Thanks for the information. As I already have this router you don't need to sell it to me!.

Many people have reported it - so it must be for a handfull?

All I know is that it's one stable piece of M'fing kit

Or you could use a BT Home Hub 5

Has all of the above, Plus 4 x 1 gbps ports, and Wireless AC

Plenty on Ebay / Gumtree, New or second hand and they cost buttons.

I am not sure why someone would want/need AC on FTTC right now?

Even the Billion I listed gives me full speed and that's only basic.

It may be depending on what cabinet/OR Modem combination the Billion replaced.

See my reply just now to ZenUser. Also:-

Why not take what is on offer free (or virtually free) and see if it meets your needs?

It's wise to have a standby for one thing, and the cost of the postage is not huge. Plus it basically sets itself up - takes about 15 minutes, or at least did with their previous one. All you have to enter is the username and password.

If it works OK for you, fine, if not, surely it will suffice for a few days?

I have a air few machines here which connect either wired or by WiFi and have had huge problems with the free routers from ISPs including then one from Be that I had to execute commands from the command line to get things to work properly (I had to do this every time the router was restarted and I live in a rural location where the power glitches at least a couple of times a week).

I'd rather not waste my time with this again.
