Hi all,

Have been reading through the sticky posts and some older threads to try and get an answer to my questions but I'm still not sure I understand...

Basically, I called Vodafone today to sign up to naked UFB unlimited. I planned to sign up for the basic UFB plan (Ultra Fast 30), but then the lady tells me that I would just be getting the same speeds as I am on ADSL2. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. 

Can anybody confirm if she was merely trying to upsell me to a more expensive plan, or should I expect similar speeds on UFB 30 as on ADSL2?

I know speed is a complicated subject and not black and white at all, but any indication would be helpful.

Also, while I'm here, could anyone tell me if this router is acceptable to run fibre through, or should I get a new one?

Thanks all for your help!!

Craig

The plan is 30/10 which is a lot faster than ADSL2+

No idea about that router, you'd need to establish whether it supports VLAN10 tagging on the WAN. Any reason why you wouldn't just use what Vodafone supply?
