Yeah, it was that one. I bid 15 quid for it but it went for 18. 

I just bought a new one on Fleabay for £50, so £18 was quite a bargain.  I may have paid over the odds but teh second hand ones were going for the mid thirties and i would rather have the additional peace of mind.

I did copy and paste from the GUI. The xdslcmd thing tells me attainable is slightly less at around 61.8.

Out of interest, any idea why the BTw speedchecker tells me, if I follow the instructions, my download speed is over 100 Mbs?  Although if I leave my anti-virus on, it gives a more realistic speed of 48-50? Other speedtesters report around 52.

The BTw speed tester has issues, particularly with Firefox. It's unreliable and the results cannot be trusted.

Think Broadband have 1 of the best and most reliable speed testers.

I use Chrome but maybe there's issues with that too.

Anyway, I've been busy doing things. Things like downloading and setting up DSLstats, joining MDWS and also joining Think Broadband. If anyone wants to take a shufty, my MDWS username is the same as it is here.

BTw test is notoriously unreliable and depends a lot on the power of your CPU and browser.

Here's another, advertised for £17-99, as a "Buy it now" item.

That's a HG612 again, from the same seller that I've already bought one from. Banger and I were discussing a Zyzel VMG1312-B10A.

Ah, b*cat is kerfuddled . . . probably due to the lack of food.
