I've upgraded our home Broadband with Plusnet. We live in a rural village south of York, so that upgrade means we'll get 30-40mpbs down and maybe 8mbps up. Hardly cutting edge, but 3-4x better than the current.
They're sending us a Hub One Router, which looks like a re-badged BT Home Hub 5, because it'll be a VDSL connection, not the ADSL which is currently handled very admirably by my Billion 7800DXL.
The Billion handles some static IP's, the DHCP allocation and the internet connection, but has WiFi disabled as the 3 Ubiquiti Access Points deal with WiFi.
Question: Will the Hub One Router be reliable enough? Are there better modem-only alternatives that i could use instead? e.g. the DrayTek Vigor 130. Ideally wall mountable so it can be stowed away out of sight like the Billion. (There's a wall bracket on ebay)
We both work from home most of the time. I'm connecting via VPN to 100+ buildings around the world to manage the systems out there, and i often hold Skype conference calls with screen-sharing so need a really reliable connection.
Advice appreciated.
