| 723400 | 2008-11-27 03:14:00 | Hi guys, I've just upgraded from Telecom's Go plan (not ADLS2-capable) to Explorer, which is ADSL2+ capable. The local exchange has been upgraded also, and my modem (Thomson/Speedtouch :yuck:) is compliant. Will I need to reboot the router to see an increase in speed? I'm reluctant to do this as these Thomson routers have a habit of losing account details. :waughh: |

| 723401 | 2008-11-27 03:18:00 | You will! :waughh: Fingers crossed it behaves itself, I have had nothing but bad experiences with the new Thomson Routers. Make sure you have the latest firmware on your Thomson. |

| 723404 | 2008-11-27 03:53:00 | I hate the d-links as they used bespoke telecom firmware which wouldnt allow RDP client through on telecoms PON's network...the Thomsons do! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 723405 | 2008-11-27 07:36:00 | The thomson routers aren't that bad. I have one and it works absolutely fine, if it breaks I'm sure Telecom will be more than happy to replace it free of charge. | Netsukeninja (13296) | ||
| 723406 | 2008-11-27 08:09:00 | None of the foamers on either GP or Geekzone have started blagging the Thomsons yet. Maybe wratterus is ahead of the pack. What model Thomson loses config? | PaulD (232) | ||
| 723407 | 2008-11-27 19:22:00 | Happy to report that my Johnson lost none of it detail when rebooted Wrat :p And also happy to report that ADSL2+ is noticeably quicker!! :thumbs: |

| 723409 | 2008-11-27 19:52:00 | bastard...where are you? In Mosgiel, just out of Dunedin. The exchange was upgraded in Feb I think, and I live barely 1 kilometre from it. Websites just seem to load much quicker (they weren't slow before, but they're instantaneous now!), and RDP connections over VPN seem a lot quicker too (probably more to do with uploads being full speed now). Haven't downloaded anything yet, so will be interesting to see what sort of speeds I get with uTorrent etc. |
