Hi guys, today is a big day - today I move (chorus depending!) from really patchy VDSL (15 down / 1 up) to ultra broadband. I currently have a FRITZBox 7490 & 7530 mesh network but I've been given a new Spark Smart Modem from a friend. Would I be better off sticking with my existing FRITZBox set up or would there be any advantage in using the Spark Smart modem which has slightly better capability? Two story home, router in the center of the house, ground floor... TIA

If it is the new spark smart modems, they are ok. But I would stick with the fritzbox's. The mesh side is really easy to setup and IMO they will give you really good wifi coverage.

Thanks, yeah I think I'll stay with the current set up... Chorus were a no show though which is pretty annoying
