Re: STB v Modem
stb v modem
i came across a interesting problem in our student area there was a stb downstairs doing 3.6mbs no problem the modem upstairs also on 4mb wouldnt go above 1.2mbs, i rang 2nd line faults they said it was oversubscription for the modem problem.
when i pointed out the stb was fine he just said they were routed different and that was the end of that!! its the first time ive witnessed a stb outperforming a modem but it can happen.
@ultimate
in our area the modem gets placed ontop of the stb with a cable slitter you might have to bribe the installer with tea and biscuits to get him to run another cable
