Thats just how it is sometimes. This isn't the worst thing though. Unless you are running a business from home its generally an okay service. You can also bond multiple lines for redundancy and higher speed. If the speeds aren't constantly maxed out, then there is not much reason to worry. > WAN via analogue modem connected to the motherboard ethernet > (modem to be replaced by fibre modem when available) > WIFI from the same modem at the moment, eventually from HOME > DMZ email and http(s) > HOME General use and web access > SECURE trusted > CCTV continuous high data rate overheats some smaller devices. > > Almost everything that can be is hard wired with ethernet. I seem to remember you saying you have a quad port card, and there will be one integrated with the mobo, that makes 5 interfaces. You have 6 networks listed here...

Yes they don't increase the fees year on year, and yes you are getting a genuinely better service, and support staff who know what they are talking about. But you are paying a huge premium. You might find this better service good value for money, others might not. So don't assume A&A is the right choose for everyone, Take care, -- Polarian Jabber/XMPP: [email protected] -- GLLUG mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
