I had some carpet people in today and when they left I had to plug the router/modem back in. But one thing I noticed is how delicate the cable from the hub to the OR socket is.
I noticed it took the hub quite a while to sync, but as soon as I moved the curtains away it nearly instantly connected. Is this normal? or is it supposed to be a bit more robust?

Or could it be that you are using a "flat" cable, normally provided with a modem/router, that has 6P2C plugs at each end and, as the socket on the SSFP is 8P2C, the plug is loose in the socket? Moving the curtains disturbed the cable and, thus, the plug in the socket . . .

That is possible. I don't understand why they give us those cables when it doesn't fill out the socket properly.
I'll see how it goes, if it re-syncs later on. If it does I'll have to try and experiment. I'm very close to dropping out of Infinity 2 speed these days :(
Roll on FTTP! :fingers:

<Nods.> Possibly to save a groat or two.
The ideal lead consists of a twisted pair (copper, stranded core) with an 8P2C plug at one end and a 6P2C plug at the other.

Because not everyone has the DSL socket so it has to accommodate plug-in microfilters which only have RJ11 sockets on them.
Then you've got the entire US which I believe use RJ11 as their telephone socket.
