bt home hub freezing

hi tris,

bt home hubs are given away free for a very good reason . Because they are shocking !!!!! You could be lucky and get a good one but its more than likely your with the masses. One thing i did notice when previouslely living in the uk is if i had my server on the bt broadband connection i had loads of problems with disconnects/reconnects etc . I changed the router and still had the same probs so put it down to the bt network in the end. I guess its something to do maybe with there throttling of traffic etc. All i would advise is use non standard ports etc . If the hub is blocking all ports after you have set them open it sounds like the hub is being factory reset which would indicate that perhaps its faulty

I agree with that although my 5th one is working spot on, 5th time lucky lol

Its gonna be the bt cableing m8, ditch em and get vm, the reason I say vm is thet is the only way not to use the same cableing
Hope this helps

Yeah im gonna vote for the bt network also. I use a home hub on my virgin connection as a router and its faultless. It's been running the best part of 6 months without a single glitch or needing a reboot.

Just tell Bt that you've used new micro filters etc when support ask you. Try a new hub and see how you go. Bt network is shocking vm are top notch
