TUF-AX6000 also has OpenWRT support but definitely look at the TUF-AX4200 (imo OpenWRT > Merlin). You can also look at the RT-AX59U. It has identical hardware to the TUF-AX4200 but only has 1 Gbps ports.

I’ve not done the maths but I’m pretty sure the BT black friday deals are worse than the prices they have year round. 3 months free but the price is jacked up.
I’m still waiting to see what the actual black friday deals are e.g. vodafone have black friday deals on right now but:
Conveniently it ends the day before actual black friday. If nothing really tempting I think I’m just gonna stick it out till April to avoid the price increase (and recommend others do the same). The monthly price has to be like £4 cheaper than standard prices to make buying now worth it over the contract length.
Something like £22 for 150 Mbps or £27 for 500 Mbps are my biting points. Vodafone had 500 for £28 2 weeks ago so I’m maybe hoping they go to £27 plus vouchers.

kev, you should have a look tomorrow after 9am there should be some interesting deals on BT. Tomorrow is the proper launch of EE services including 1.6 Gbps FTTP. They are also integrating netduma into their router: https://netduma.com/blog/ee/
I’m hoping BT follow.

Must have just been a sync problem I put the Billion back in and I’m getting the same upload now. Kind of wish I had an outage so it resynched higher but oh well.

I’m so confused what they have done. My package does say Fibre 2 but then my upload was always 10 Mbps before. The billion is a totally dumb modem so you can’t access anything in modem mode.
I think maybe they haven’t changed anything but since my Billion has been connected for literally months it’s never resynced at the higher rate. I might plug it in later to see but for now I’m relatively happy.
I have also set up a BQM just to see.
The red is when I flashed merlin and configured cake. See if it helps with spikes.

Decided to put in the DSL-AX82U last night. Found a potential loophole for speeds. My BT limits are:
I know for a fact that my upload was capped around 10 as I did alot the past few months. That was on a Billion 8800NL modem and eero setup.
The Asus DSL seems to just ignore this limit for some reason. I’m getting about 50 Mbps download and 18 Mbps upload now even with cake configured.

I got the sceenshot from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suy6xJrcsZY
They show dsleports but not much. I like waveform because you get numbers after the test to draw some conclusion from. It also generally coinsides with own pings tests when running so I tend to believe it. It’s much more recent than dslreports test also.

You would think that but I’ve seen it be pretty bad on some 1 Gbps lines.
63ms jitter and 256ms average ping!

If you have those options it should not matter much when Openreach decide to do your area.
If you want to find out it though: https://www.openreach.com/fibre-broadband/where-when-building-ultrafast-full-fibre-broadband
Scroll down a little and you will see a map. Put in your postcode and it will tell you if they are building in the next 12 months.
Also put your postcode and building into https://bidb.uk
This will tell you of any other prividers laying fibre in your area.
