Rubbish - where does that definition say acoustic couplers?

And Virgin call their device a hub too and so do Sky.

I said it's from the days of acoustic couplers when old dial up modems were used, or if you want to get picky with the words "dial in" from that link.

If BT called their new product BT smart pooch, according to you that would be a dog, but in reality it could be just another networking product

Not according to me but according to BT.
If BT said their smart pooch was a dog then in reality it would be a dog.
In this case BT said their hub is a wireless hub and in reality it is.

Not so, as you are the one that says "a" where as BT says "our" there is a big difference and one that you don't seem to understand or comprehend

Also the BT smart hub contains a Network switch and not a Network hub (hence why all data does not go through every port, only the one that it is meant to)

You are confused. The only poster to have referred to a network hub is yourself, so you could stop posting here and resume the argument with yourself elsewhere.

I love the way that you've been caught out as not knowing basic networking or even basic primary school English is to tell me I was the one who brought up the subject of a network hub when in fact it wasn't me at all.

I hope you don't live up to the real definition of the character of BatBoy who goes around stealing cars and not coming to the aid of the needy?

It's sad when your only recourse is to start insulting people.

You are joking right? no? oh my. I think you need to re-read what you said to me in your last post before the one quoted as that was an insult and rued. I remember you tried arguing with me over 10 years ago on this forum. By the looks of it since I've been away from this forum you've non stopped tried to bully and argue with people.
