Router question

[EFCLee1]

If speedtest.net says he's connected with Talktalk, he's connected with Talktalk.

OK let me spell it out seeing as you missed it "hello Talk Talk, can you tell me why my BT wireless modem is working giving me my internet connection from you" pretty basic way of investigating wouldn't you say!!

You wouldn't assume that the same device can work with two different ISPs? Have you considered reading say, RFC 1661?

Obviously whatever RFC 1661 means it doesn't apply here, but glad someone here reads that stuff so I don't have to! you must be a ball at your local!

Because newer automatically equals better. Frankly, all models of Homehub are a joke. But so is the most of the stuff Talktalk supplies, so..

That's not what I said, if both devices are going to give him the same internet speed then why not go with what his ISP gave him, and how do you know TT can do any DIAG on the BT router? simple deduction of logic TT internet TT router!!

You think whoever you get on the phone would have the slightest clue? It works, he's using Talktalk.. there's no investigation needed.

Without RFC 1661 he wouldn't be online. Nor would I. Nor would most people, especially back in the dialup days. RFC 1661 and RFC 2364 are at the very core of the function of an ADSL router. You'd know this if you bothered to understand the subjects you choose to talk about.

But they may not. And they don't need to do any diags which involve remotely accessing the router unless something is badly wrong. I don't use any form of ISP supplied router: My ISP doesn't even offer to supply one.

Simple logic: ADSL connection, ADSL modem or router required. Nothing more.

well just went on the bt speedtester site to see what would happen it says no account with bt
then onto the talk talk one on the my account page and it says speed of 12.3 mb down load and 0.97 mb up load so im happy and apparently connected to talk talk with a bt homehub

Yep, and that's all there is to it. It works, don't meddle.
