Currently where the phoneline comes into the house, I think they used a pair in one of the network cables that's in that downstairs room to bring the line back up to the hotpress and install the faceplate there. Will they just put a new faceplate in the room where the line enters the house?

I also disabled the host wifi yesterday. No time to test fully last night but looked to have improved things with the wifi. Slow admin console load is annoying.

My master socket currently is upstairs in the 'hotpress', although it's not an actual hotpress as no hot water tank in there. That is where I have a small node 0 type set up.

Grumpypants wrote: » Yip, they have to get an average speed so need to download for a few seconds. So if your downloading at 1gigabite per second (which is about 125 megabytes per second), and it runs for 3-5 seconds it could be 375-650 megabytes. then you need to upload so it will be pushing towards the 1gb for each speed test.

I can understand running a couple when you first get a fast connection until the novelty wears off; I can understand running one when you think there might be a problem with the connection. But a lot of people seem to run them recreationally. It's a bit like running your kitchen tap for ten minutes several times a day to see what the pressure is like: you're using a substantial amount of a shared resource for essentially no useful purpose.
