1. You get the white openreach modem which can be wall mounted and will need to be close-ish to the master socket. You'll get a HomeHub3 as the router. It can also be wall mounted I believe. As it'll connect to the modem via ethernet, it can be placed anywhere in your home provided you can get the cable to it.

2. No management on Usenet. I've never experienced management on P2P either

3. No

4. Less than 2 weeks usually.

Well not got off to the best start.
Tried to place my order online tonight and got an error halfway through. Spoke to FOUR different people at BT who all gave me conflicting information. Was eventually told that, as my line rental is with Sky (not LLU) I would have to place an order for a new line, and then order the Infinity and Vision when this was complete, didnt seem right but the order went through ok.
Hope i've not made a big mistake!!

err, up to 30m away, via a data extension kit.

No I'm afraid it can't.

Not quite an ethernet cable, the cable used for data extension kits (internal or external grade) is just a 2 pair, but with high Cat5 twist on the pairs. The is used between the modem and the filter.

Is it worth me getting my own cables then?

Exactly! The engineer will not install an ethernet cable between the modem and router, which is what was said to the OP.

I accept the cable itself could be used for ethernet, but not with the connectors that are expected on it for an HWS.

Fair enough. We have a HH2 and it can't either. Thought I'd heard someone saying it could be but I guess not.

Why is the limit 30m btw?

I did wonder, but figured people who've seen an infinity install might know better.

30m cat5e patch cable only appears to be £10 to £15 these days

Why is the limit 30m btw?

Cos that's the length supplied in the standard kit. I believe there was a post long ago now saying they could be joined if necessary.

Anybody? It's going to be about 7 metres from socket to modem and about 5 metres from modem to HH so is it worth buying decent quality cable or just stick to what BT provide?
