I know we had issues with BT at the start to do with our FTTP installation,

..... and a hiccup with your router as well I seem to recall.

Well yeah, and I still am.

Fritz Box 4040 works great IPv4 + IPv6 all fine, but then the router starts dropping packets every 6 hours after X days.

The Linksys Router is all fine apart from no IPv6 due to BT uses DHCPv6 and that router doesn't support that, as for it dropping packets, not really been able to check that due to BT keep resetting the routers external IP (still hoping to get a static IP), once I notice it reset I will enable the BQM again to see.

I was thinking of flashing the firmware on Linksys, hopefully that will support it.

I also sent you a PM to-do with something else.

Fluidone phone support (which btw is 24/7, 365 days a year) have made some further config changes & browsing now appears to be smooth.

I knew that would be misinterpreted when I pressed post, I meant mine.

This is my wired TBB speedest, doesn't look brilliant:



However Speedtest.net and speed.io are giving me the full 310/30 and getting around 35 MB/s when downloading torrents (couldn't resist ). So I'm not going to stress out too much over the TBB speedtest results. Being in North Scotland pings are never going to be great, they're more or less the same as my TalkTalk FTTC connection (~20 ms).

I will create a new thread tomorrow (this thread title is slightly misleading) describing my whole experience from start to finish and the various stages involved in the build process for FoD. This may help others such as Jabes who is planning to order the same service from Fluidone.

Thanks, forgot about the BTW based one. Results are a bit meh, but nothing too alarming.

Glad some issues have been sorted out, but that wiring makes me want to swear. The "maximum bend" of fibre in a customer's house (i.e. not with certaun underground things like that slippery fish thing) is meant to be well around the outside of a £2 coin. It would be fine with co-ax, assuming it didn't squash or cut the cable, but optical stuff is obviously very different because of the internal angles of reflection it relies on. Reflection or refraction? You know what I mean.

It will look messy and I'd find myself in a dilemma because I don't like untidiness with wiring... but there again, results come first, don't they? What's going to happen if you have an untidy-looking cable? What is the worst case scenario? Someone will see it, but quickly catch their glance and explain. They might think you're strange in a very small way. GET THAT CABLE UN-KINKED PLEASE. You cable-kinker.

:Nice smiley face to show that I'm joking:

I'm not really joking, and I hope you know it. Sort it. Otherwise your fibre will always annoy you, and the memory of speed tests will haunt your soul wherever you travel. Is that what you want? 'cos that's what'll happen.

Yeah but look at your lovely 5ms which part of the country are you in if you dont mind me asking. I'm in central scotland so i'm guesssing 15-16ms is the lowest I will ever see.
