VPN use

I'm thinking of moving from Pipex to Zen. I do sometimes need remote access to my office via a VPN connection, and noticed that At Home Zen 8000 Active does not mention VPN, but under Small Home Office Zen 8000 Active VPN *is* mentioned.

Therefore, are these Zen 8000 Active accounts one and the same and VPN will work fine, or is there any differences (the pricing is the same, just quoted with/without VAT)?

VPN works fine between two Zen accounts. (extremely stable)

I have a VPN connection with an up time of over a month
(using the VPN connection manager on two DrayTek 2600 series routers)

The products are the same and VPN works fine.

I connect via VPN to sites on BT, C&W and Plusnet from my Zen connection regularly.

As others have said, VPN works fine on Zen 8000 Active. I regularly use VPN over my Zen Active connection to remotely access my work's network.

As far as I can see, VPN is actually mentioned on the Zen Lite, Active and Pro pages.

the main reason the office products are more suitable, is they have traffic prioritisation (over the home products), and also have higher upstream bandwidth, so a faster/better VPN connection.

but yes, vpn will work on any zen product

Worth pointing out - just to avoid confusion or misunderstanding - that the "traffic prioritisation" talked about here is a BT thing and not something implemented or controlled by Zen.

Yes, that's correct, but only the business versions of the pages. The home pages don't mention VPN.

On the Home pages it is only mentioned for Pro.

OK, that would be good since it's the same price as "Home". However, I can't see any difference in the specs, so how is it different to BT, i.e. different contention to 20:1; is it classified as a business connection in some way?

I went throught the initial sign-up screen, and there is no choice for business or home type of connection, only Zen 8000 Active, implying one type?

Is there really any difference - I can't find it on the web site?

Right, I see VPN on Home Pro.
