Hi there.
Not for me btw 
Is the BT Homehub version 1.5 (possibly a version 1) any good (or really bad) on long, noisey lines?
A friend is having terrible trouble getting a decent connection. They are 7km from the nearest BTw only exchange. BT say nothing is wrong with the line, if that's right, getting a decent connection will be down to which router they they are using.
Most folks here seem to advocate a Speedtouch 585 or a Netgear for poor lines.
Any ideas?

I think the HH2 was better for long lines, I never rated the HH1 very well.
2Wire HGV2700 is the one to go for (not sure if the HGV bit is right - brain is a bit scrambled)

Netgear DG834GT we found to be pretty nice on our line back in the early ADSL days
Had a Zoom X4 at one point too and it had a nice interface but wasn't so sharp holding the connection from memory.

Funnily enough I have a 2Wire 2700HGV here that is going spare. I'll try that.
Thanks

HH1, OK-ish,
HH1.5, pants on a long line.
HH2, best of the bunch.
HH3, not seen it used in anger on a long line.
Sounds like you have the best option, use the 2-Wire.

if your going to give him the 2 wire then flash it to the qwest firmware as it will take any login details and hold on a full reboot
|
|
|
That is the one to try ...

He's on BT anyway so shouldn't be a problem. I've adjusted it so it won't receive software updates from BT.
Thanks all for the advice.

You cant adjust it from taking BT updates
It has been tried and all attempts have failed

I thought you could with v5.29.117.6 firmware?
I ran this 2700HGV for quite a while with this mod and it didn't get a firmware update.
From 2700hgv website
Editor's update ( Sep 09) By changing the ACS URL the following can be achieved:
v5.29.117.6 - v6 firmware upgrades can be blocked. Note that Enhanced services was/is only appears to be installable from BT motive.com servers. Enhanced services cannot be enabled using the 2wire.com server.

V6 will still install its self onto your 2 wire
Many who did the same as you have reported that they woke up to v6 firmware
