I don't exactly know what you mean by the 2700s, I've just changed the IP of your link and I get a 404 error...
If by that you mean the router's model, it's Netgear DGND3300v2.

If you have BT Business they will have supplied a 2wire2700HGV modem/router ... that one.

Sorry no, they didn't supply any router. I've bought the netgear from some third party store, not from BT.

OK - but I have never come across a BT business installation where a modem has not been supplied.

the links you provided doesn't work (XRay's one shows nothing in the ping result box)
Sorry, my link only works with some Netgears that recognise the "adslctl" commands; yours presumably doesn't.

Okay frown I'm always unlucky it seems....

One more thing: Do you think that my broadband speed will improve if I switch to Virgin Media or TalkTalk? it seems BT has became worse than before these days....

Not with TalkTalk or VM's national service - only if you can get Virgin Media *cable* not their ADSL service. That's a completely different technology, and if you don't have cable in the building already, they will have to drill a hole through the wall to install the cable wires. (only an issue if you're renting).

I think it's BT's fault because I had many problems with them (they changed my number themself, I didn't have broadband for 2-3 weeks and alot more problems with being on the phone for 2-3 weeks to fix all these problems...)

As my line can handle 6 mbps atleast due to Virgin line speed checker, they should be able to give me that speed because as I have read in their site, they give you the max speed possible on your line and is the #1 and speediest provider in UK.

One more thing: If I want to make switch, is it better that I keep my BT phone line or just switch that to TalkTalk/Virgin (wichever i'm gonna get) too? How much time will it take to switch telephone line + broadband to another provider like from the BT I have to Virgin? In Virgin's site, I have read this thing:
"Switch to Virgin Media - in 3 easy steps

It couldn't be simpler!
You don't need a MAC code
You can normally keep your BT phone number and stop paying BT line rental
You won't be without your broadband, TV or phone
We can install all your services in one go!
Plus, you could save money with our great value bundles"

Is that "You won't be without your broadband, TV or phone" true? Does it make the switch faster if I keep my BT line? And if I do keep it, does it affect my broadband speed cause right now one of the BT mess ups that still remain is that they think i'm still on my old number.

By the way, wich is better: Virgin or TalkTalk? (I know Virgin speed is #1 in UK but I want to know what existing customers think, i'm talking about all the important factors e.g. good customer service, speed and other stuff)

Sorry for asking too many questions, i'm lost & confused a bit.

Do you know how to get your full stats via TELNET? This page may give you a hint: http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/netgeardg834_interleav... . Altho' your Netgear isn't listed, it may be similar. My link is meant to be a quick direct way of doing the same.
