I think it’s unforgivable discriminating against users who have slower lines. As if they do not need the same LAN and especially WLAN performance. Cynical penny-pinching.
As if customers who are already being screwed by BTOR need more grief, when they aren’t responsible for their lack of choice.
And do ADSL2 users not need 5GHz? They have neighbours too. Everyone should have this.
They can of course upgrade by buying a good add-on WAP, or better just binning the wireless modem router and getting- guess what, a top-of-the-range range ZyXEL.
Would stay well away from JL on principle if FTTC.
