Re: Battle of the Hubs - The Prequel

that looks like it does phone over coax which isnt great for VM, but something along those lines would be great

Further tests will be done on the LAN, once I figure out and fix why the Superhubs keep randomly dropping LAN devices.

If you feel like donating a E4200 I'd be happy to compare it, otherwise you'll have to just deal with what I have to hand (DIR-615, DIR-825, TL-WR2543ND, WNDR3700, and a HH3). I suppose I'll throw the WPN824 in there at some point too.

Sorry, but wrong. Where the internet service is considerably faster than the connection being tested and consistently maxes out the wireless link, the result would be exactly the same as over the LAN. The internet is afterall architecturally no different from a LAN, only larger.
OH they changed suppliers for the 3rd home hub? Wow wasn't aware of that, Huawei gear isnt bad though tbh

Re: Battle of the Hubs - The Prequel

Yeah, Huawei supply both the VDSL2 DSLAM in the cabs, the VDSL2 modem and the Home Hub 3 (though the first two vary by location, if you're on a non Huawei cab you get non Huawei modem)

Interestingly BT are keeping to the same manufacturer of modems as their VDSL2 DSLAMs

I assume you're being ironic as VOIP (even using wideband audio codecs such as G722) requires 64 Kb/s per call channel.
