Sounds good .

But we have been through so many alternatives we don't know what you have ended up with, with the "straight swap". You almost imply he just put the modem at the XTF and left the NTE-2005 in situ.

That's exactly what he did. Nothing was changed on site, modem was plugged into XTF and XTE was left in place aswell.

Heh!!!!

You should ask for a part refund of the installation charge. They've saved a filtered faceplate.

I think you should have demanded they leave it as a spare .

Any biscuits needed?

You saved yourself a lot of re-wiring trouble as well - took so long on here there wasn't time to do it!

Enjoy .

When he had it in his hand, I actually nearly asked him for it, as it crossed my mind, but I didn't and now I wonder why I didn't

Nope, just aswell really, as I don't think we have any... A cup of coffee in our 'Wheres Wally' mug was used with 1 sugar and milk.

Well, a quick BT Speedtest show's;

So happy with that. Just let the 10 day settling period pass and hope it stays at this during and after that period...

Thanks again for your help & patience RobertoS & others

Perfect speed test.

What I found quite quickly though is that speed testing via wireless is very unreliable, to the tune of tens of thousands slower than wired, taken within a minute or so.

That may just be my setup of course but watch out for it.

I've also read wireless can be very unreliable/inconsistent with regards to speedtests etc.

I'm wired 99% of the time, so should have limited exposure to the issue.

Now, what can I use this new found speed for...?

Ah, let's check for Windows Update, as I'm sure I was saving one.
