EE haven't sent me out a welcome package including all the accessories needed to access the Internet. So I've full fibre broadband installed (lovely engineer by the way), but no way of using it without an ethernet cable and most importantly a fucking router.

what... they don't give you a router?

does your box thingy not have a modem AND router? my Virgin Media one does. I run it in modem mode though cause I got my own better router.

Yes they do. It was meant to get to me before the engineer installed the full fibre broadband, but it never arrived. My welcoming packaging including everything is arriving tomorrow.

I've ordered these so I can speed up my streaming on my tv and have a thicker ethernet cable going from the modem to the router.

ah alright.

my set up is fibre into house from the front door and under the floor coming out to modem in living room (at back of house), turned the crappy ass router off on it, ethernet along the walls and ceiling, down to router in hall. then everything connects to that except my PC which i have an ethernet running up the stairs into the room.

yeah one of those openreach boxes.

i was looking at getting BT or some shit installed but the amount of hardware you need is silly. but hey at least they finally caught up to VM by offering more than 67Mb/s.

i'm on 380Mb/s currently. actually worked out cheaper than staying on 220Mb/s lol
I'm currently on 308Mbs, but I will bump it up to 500Mbs tomorrow.

You'll be able to get 2.5Gbps broadband where I live soon. Who would ever use/need that?
businesses most likely. i don't know how a house could use that unless they are running a business at home or just really fucking nerdy.

220 is more than enough for me. i only notice when downloading games. it'd be nice to download modern games faster but doesn't bother me at the moment so whatever.
