BT Home Hub

Day 3!

BT Home HubGot home last night and opened the Home Hub box… well it’s cheap, but kind of classy! I thought about it for a while before finally cracking and deciding to install it. My reason for the U-Turn was that I figured that installing the BT supplied router might kickstart the incrementing of my IP profile.       Continue reading “BT Home Hub”

BT Home Hub

Day 2!

I spent a little time on the phone to an Indian call centre last night… BT’s official speed test site shows that my line is indeed 7.5mb but that my IP profile is currently 2mb… I fugure the IP profile is too low and needs upping… anyhow the guy from the call centre explained that it takes 10 days for the line to settle and for your profile to get set correctly. Personally I’m a little suspect and expect to go back to them in 10 days saying that the speed is no better.

A little searching online suggests that the 10 day thing is probably correct! 🙂 However, general opinion seems to be against the Home Hub. I did pick it up this morning from the Post Office, however, I’m not so sure that I will install it. I think I’ll stick with my netgear or get a newer version of the netgear etc…

BT Home Hub

BT upgraded my Broadband from 2mb to 8mb today… they also sent me a new BT Home Hub… but there was no one in to sign for it.

My Netgear DG834G is showing connection speed of 7.5mb and upload of 448kb… however all speed checks are showing <2mb. I live pretty close to the Exchange so I should get good response.

So I’m not sure if there is a bedding in time issue or if my router is not up to the job… I guess I’ll find out tomorrow when I can pick up the Home Hub!

Doomdark’s Revenge

I sat down today to do some DDR code, first in a while, and spent 3 hours debugging some crashes!

Don’t you just hate it when you leave your code in a none working state! One was some bad XML, incorrect closing elements, and the other was some memory being trashed. The memory problem was due to my string class doing a shallow copy on assignment… well actually it wasn’t, but the compiler was for some reason not using my string assignment operator and instead doing it itself! Actually I have no idea what the compiler is doing at that point… grr…
