Just ordered FTTP 500/70. Was a long wait but nearly there 

[stevebrass]

Great news!

[Chrysalis]

awesome news.  Every day that has one of us getting on FTTP is a good one.

[g3uiss]

And now I have the Fibre at my external wall. Another stage nearer 

[craigski]

Curious - looking at you sig (assuming up to date), what's the plan for the existing FTTC / 4G backup and Draytek upgrade, the 2925 will support upto 300Mb/s?

[g3uiss]

The existing FTTC will go as will the 4G. I will replace the router in due course if it limits my thruput.

Hi G3uiss

The draytek WAN ports (2) are 1000mb/s each as are the 5 Lan ports.

The limiting factor would be the firewall throughput at 300mb/s

That said, I think you would be hard pressed to notice the difference between 300 and 500 speeds download but would notice a small speed increase in 50 to 70 upload, subject to the system you are uploading been able to cope with a upload speed of 70mb/s.

We went with BT 300/50 as it suits our needs easily and that's just a few pounds cheaper then BT 950/100 but this was based on we look after clients on 950/100 and most speed is not used.

I hope you enjoy your FTTP

Many thanks

John

Hi John.

Thanks for comment. I was aware of the limitations and was intending to see what the “real world” results were. Like you I’m a big fan of Draytecs, and if I feel I’m missing some bandwidth I will purchase a 2927.

I’m sure you can restore the config file from a 2925 and make it easy, as I have some VPN’s configured. That gives me a “hot” spare !

I looked at many options and the Cerebus 500/70 was such good value although I rarely will use all the bandwidth.

When it goes live I will offer my HF612,s here.

Hope your well

Tony

Hi Tony

That's a lovely router and more then do the job.

I think you cannot transfer between router classes though, but I think there is an option to export/backup VPN settings and import/restore as you can for lan etc...

Glad you finally have FTTP

Many thanks

Yes I think your right but firewall, VPN are possible as you say, and they are the tricky ones.

[g3uiss]

Draytec 2527 now installed and configuration aided by export of VPN settings. Some great new features. So much for the price, besides the 1.8gb firewall thruput

Is it wireless ac/ax model you have?

[g3uiss]

No not wireless as I have a number of Unifi APs around the property. The 2925 was but I disabled the WLAN.

[craigski]

Ah, OK. I have 2927ax and was hoping to use use the wireless for wireless WAN connection. I wrongly assumed would be available on the ax, but only on the ac, so will need another plan for backup 4G  connection.

[g3uiss]

Not sure what the problem is ? I have a 4G dongle in USB1 works fine as wan5 ?
