Lewiis u obviously know what your talking about is the draytek one you mentioned the only one that works as of yet, that netgear one states in the instructions that it needs to be plugged into a modem even though it states its vdsl? I'm confused now!

Isn't BT infinity their fiber optic service, a bit like Virgin Media cable?

I thought it was fibre to the house too that's why you needed a different type of modem to get the high speeds they quote.

No still copper to your house, fibre to the cabinet in your street/road.

You can buy an all in one FTTC modem/router but they are pricey! I'm not on BT Infinity but a local FTTC provider and have the same issue a cellpipe modem that looks big enough to come from the dark ages!

Just to add that Virgin is also an FTTC connection as it is only coaxial cable to the house from the hub! It would cost a mint to install a FTTH/P.

I have the old Homehub 1 - the white box. Am looking to upgrade to infinity, is the wireless that rubbish as thats what i use all around the house and it works quite well at the moment. Dont want to upgrade speed and then lose coverage of mi wireless

Nah it works ok to be fair I just want rid of the seperate modem and hub I always find the gear they supply not as good as it could be but if your used to the hub you will be more than happy with it
