We have some early customers on their 14th month, so outside the contract now, but still, ceasing would incur a cost, a new provide would incur a cost, downtime would be involved, and a new 12m contract in place, so it's still not viable just to get a spare modem

I was meaning purely in-house, to have a modem you could loan out.

I agree for a customer to get a spare modem for their own use it isn't viable.

Post deleted by Garyilka - thought I'd found a couple on eBay, but even there they are showing it as a 'backorder item'!!

And now removed completely.
Clearly the 8200N is a figment of Billion's imagination

Cisco 877VA

Even harder to get hold of (it seems). Google shopping results show absolutely no hits whatsoever!

Edit: Not only that, but Cisco.co.uk come back with nothing, either, when using their search engine.

Yet another non-existent vDSL modem/router

I *did* see it on BroadbandBuyer's website, in stock and orderable, a week or 2 ago. Shame I dithered...

My bad, it's an 887VA

Nice; but at upwards of £240 I'll chance my arm with the new OR modem (install is in a few days, so should get a '2V' unless I'm really unlucky).

I had Business Infinity installed on Tuesday, and got a 2B modem.....

Is the Billion BiPAC 8200N any good?

As in does it sync as good as the BT OP set-up and is it as fast?

What chipset does it use?

Fritz!Box down to €190 - http://www.momilc.com/avm-fritz-box-fon-wlan-7390.html

(install is in a few days, so should get a '2V' unless I'm really unlucky).

All the 'old' versions *should* have been handed back in, but do ask the engineer, and do insist it gets wall mounted.
