Thank you for mentioning that. The previous ADSL routers I have had
from Plusnet have allowed 10.x.x.x local networks.

I can confirm that the Plusnet FTTC router, the same hardware as the
BT one, does not support 10.x.x.x

Not that you have to use the plusnet router...


I plonked out on a Draytek that does ADSL, ADSL2+ and VDSL. So I am fttc
ready if I want to go that way.

It's available but costs more and is likely not much faster. - 2km to
the VDSL cab, 4.5km to the exchange DSLAM....I might get about 15Mbps
down and 1.2Mbps up

but really I am happy with 6Mbps down and 1Mbps up..its enough and
getting 50% more is not really sufficiently exciting to want to go for it

I think the moral here is that if you act like a dumb consumer you will
be fed expensive **** but if you do the research you can evaluate a lot
better options that are available
