Tim,
I get the full 76Mbps line-speed through my Vigor and that=B9s with an
agei=
ng
ISA Server between me and it. I don=B9t know how fast it can go, but
it=B9s=
no
bottleneck at the moment.
Regards,
Steve

Robin, Steve,=20
Thanks for your comments.
It looks like the openreach engineer comes and installs a dual faceplate on
the NTE5 to give an RJ11 socket as well as the BT outlet. I presume the BT
outlet is internally filtered.
I can't see why I need this as my existing setup should work fine, as you
suggest.
The "multiple adaptors" are a plug into a commoned-up patch
panel, LAU from
the patch panel to give a BT socket, then BT-to-RJ11 cable into the router.
I've got a Vigor 2820 - it seems it doesn't have the required VDSL modem
capability but I don't know if that's purely hardware or can be fixed with
=
a
firmware update.=20
What speed are you getting through your wan2 port Steve? I've read that
som=
e
of the older Vigors, including mine, can struggle a bit and max out at ~50
Mbps.
Cheers,
Tim.
