I have taken the plunge and ordered firbe, it should of been installed
yesterday, but three of us in the house with Covid (all over xmas) that
was the end to that install day Covid negative as of this morning but
still feel ill). I am not booked for 12th Jan. I went with Toob who had
a very good deal on at the time and are one of the many City Fibre
resellers in the area (fibre is installed by City Fibre as well). I have
been sent a Linksys router, (Velop MX42 I think) but other than that I
don't know much about the router.
Hope it helps

Hi All
Hope you've all had good Christmas' and the New Year.
Recently we had a visit of workers who were starting to install Fibre
cables to replace the overhead coppers. They said it was going to be
Gigabit capable and it would be cheaper to install the new broadband
connection at the same time.
Question is what router would I need (no game playing & little
streaming) and if it affects the telephones?
What I've seen so far does not mention any telephone information. My
next door neighbour is also trying to find out info.
Our phones are normal landlines through cables around the house, will
we need to change these?
Miss our monthly meetings because this is the type if 'chats' we could
have, not so easy over the 'net'.
Perhaps next weeks meeting could provide the info??
Meanwhile I'll keep looking.
