When I bought my 8800NL back in May it was pre-configured for UK FTTC. Maybe they changed it in the new firmware.

I realise you can just pay extra and bung in a switch but given the cost of gigabit LAN ports it just seems like penny pinching.

It is a LOT cheaper than many of the alternatives though.

Seems to be sold out everywhere at the moment so I'm guessing it's proving pretty popular...

The new firmware is not set up proper for UK FTTC. Because it leave blank on both VLAN mux ID and 8021P (both set at -01) as I do agree with you that Billion new firmware should have set it for UK FTTC but it removed.

Do you think you were a bit hasty sending yours back?

I'd read some of your posts elsewhere, where you said "never use a billion again" etc.

Are you using it now and if you are how are you finding it?
