2wire 2700HGV my views so far.

Ted · Nov 16, 2007, 21:52:32

Bought one of these a week ago just to try as i'd read they were good.
I have to say that my sync speeds shown in the router and download rates have both increased. I use the Namesco tester.
For the past week i've been syncing at 7xxx which i have never done before and for the first time ever i downloaded at 6089kbps, usually 4xxx to 5xxx.
So its IDNET+2wire 2700HGV = WOO HOO!! I think that officially makes me a convert

That's very kind of you, Ted. I may have other avenues opening shortly, but if not, I'd be very happy to take you up on your offer.

Simon · Nov 18, 2007, 10:22:46

How does one go about getting one of these switched from BT to IDNet?

Lance · Nov 18, 2007, 10:29:06

This site provides a fair bit of useful information, Simon.

Basically, if you have one of the older hardware models (not dual SSID) you can simply put an entry in the routers DNS settings which stops it 'phoning home'. If you have a new hardware model, you can either follow the very good guide on editing the code with Opera, or I think you can run the set-up wizard.

Thanks Lance!
