In reply to a post by Mtx:

For PPPPE they estimate 50mbit of overheads on the download side. Is this something that you have experienced? Do they give you any log in to their router? I have asked for bridged mode purely for full network control my end of ports etc.

A modern router should be able to handle the overhead of pppoe without too much of a hit. Older routers that were never designed for gigabit wan speeds may indeed struggle to reach half the quoted speed.

I thought it sounded a bit much to be honest. I have ordered a new router ready for FTTP just for piece of mind.

Which router are you going with?

I already have the Draytek 2926AC so just ordered the 2927AC to replace it.

Nice, should be good

I hope so!

Hi folks,

I am over the river in Bideford and we are being connected sometime soon. I use VOIP (SIP) and was wondering if anyone else was using their own VOIP service with the Nokia router supplied by JF? My VOIP service is via an SPA2102 box that plugs into an ethernet port on the router.

To work, on most routers, you need to either be lucky and have a good implementation of SIP-ALG or (normally) you need to disable SIP-ALG to make a 3rd party SIP service work properly. Can anyone let me know if the option to untick (disable) SIP-ALG (Application Layer Gateway) exists and if so do they happen to know if it disables it on the ethernet ports as well as the internal telephone port (which I assume will only work with JF's own VOIP service.

Thanks
Paul

While I can't answer your question regarding SIP I can offer I couple of bits of info that might be useful to know.

1. Jurassic use CG-NAT. More NAT is never a good thing.
2. Jurassic can put the Nokia in bridge mode so that you can use any router. They actually switched my Nokia router for a Nokia ONT as the massive footed router can't be easily wall mounted.

It sounds like Openreach getting in before Jurassic here was a good thing!

I know what you mean, but it ain't all bad. I'm only paying £22.50 for 450/100 and my next best option is FTTC. I get around CG-NAT by using Tailscale for remote access.
