Does anyone have it?

We had the sky engineer out the other day for te TV install and he mentioned that there's 2 routers, one of which is screwed to the wall.

I'm keen to see what it looks like in people's houses as I don't know where to have it mounted so its hidden.

It's got to be plugged into the master socket, so hiding it can be difficult depending on how your house is laid out:

Ah ok. The master socket is under the stairs but needs moving so ill have it moved to the living room I think.

Looks fairly neat anyway so that's cool.

They're not too bad, the bridge is just a plain white box as you can see in the pic. I've had to run a home plug between the bridge and the router because my master socket is right by the front door - I had no where to put the router and as it's a fancy looking BT Home Hub I couldn't wall mount it. The downside of doing that is I can't run home plugs to anything else which needs it, but my place is quite small so everywhere gets WiFi.

Just google 'pirate bay mirror'

Ours is in the living room, master socket is next to some plugs anyway.

It's not wall mounted

It does come through the phone line.

It's Fibre To The Cabinet, which is the cabinet at the end of your street (roughly). After that it's still over a bit of old thin twisted pair copper.

It can go much quicker over the last bit of copper, 80meg+ down, sure they've got a more recent one with double that.

Virgin is also FTTC but it's coax for the last bit and it doesn't use VDSL.
