Hello, everyone.
I posed a question some time ago regarding the state of DSL in the UK. Here in the US, it is being rolled out at quite a pace, and there is a growing trade in after-market DSL routers. These include the likes of the Cisco 675 which is a simple yet very complete DSL->Ethernet router with built in NAT etc, and devices such as the Linksys one which incorporate the DSL router and a 4 port ethernet hub.
Is it not possible to buy the external router from the likes of Micro Warehouse and use it with the lower priced service ? Just because BT sends out a wholly unsuitable device, does that mean you absolutely have to use it ?
Depends on how brave you are. The BT contract states that you can only use their hardware. -- David Smith Tel: +44 (0)1454 462380 (direct) STMicroelectronics Fax: +44 (0)1454 617910 1000 Aztec West TINA (ST only): (065) 2380 Almondsbury Home: 01454 616963 BRISTOL Mobile: 07932 642724 BS32 4SQ Work Email: Dave.Smith@st.com Home Email: David.Smith@ds-electronics.co.uk
