Except that others will come after, trying to figure out how to set up their non-TT router (remembering that this is something officially sanctioned by TT) - it might help if there is some reliable information on the 'net as to what works

If you post your findings on the TalkTalk Future Fibre forum, then there's a good chance one of the OCEs there will turn it into a 'sticky' post to let others know how to use a third party router on Cityfibre based TT services. They may even make you a guru on the TT forum

Unlikely as many Talktalk connections over CityFibre do indeed use a VLAN as was initially advised.

No idea if it is different in different areas or if Talktalk have changed the setup for new customers in all areas now but if it's the former then a single sticky post with instructions would be useless.

I wonder if these changes are indeed being driven by the National Access Network that CityFibre are/have deployed?

Are you spannering on your own or have you gone to work for a larger company now?

I'm sure if you take a look at the site, it's self explanatory.
(EDIT) (I am still on my last few months at Sixth form, and will be looking down the degree apprenticeship route) (BT recruitment have invited me to an assessment centre although no news on when. (Applied for a network engineer role)) (I will add that if my current employer does intend on having degree apprenticeships in one of the fields i would be interested in they will take priority for various reasons. One of those being existing apprentices at the company considerably higher salary if we include commuting costs to London based sites, (or any site really) I'm less than 5 minutes drive or 10 bike away from the office at the moment.
To add to all that the company is very supportive of their staff and has a good environment with comprehensive benefits.

Continuing my slightly off topic posts.
Have had a flurry of emails from TTB about my "upgrade to superfast" and the new router, so thought I'd plug the new router into my copper line, well it synced in, but the WWW isn't available. Unfortunately this router seems a bit sparse on connection info, all I could find was it had connected at 0.5 which would be much lower than FTTC, even a little bit low for my old ADSL,

0.5/0.5 is the data package Openreach sell for VOIP calling.

Yes i did wonder about that but forgot to ask in my previous post if this would show if you was to plug a router into a standard master socket with no internet contract. We have another property on the same exchange which has also got a copper line, no mention from BT (the phone provider) about any changes, so I'm guessing this is not anything to do with analogue phone withdrawal, maybe I'll have to plug the router in to see if same thing happens there.
