<span>The honest answer is I've absolutely no idea and I'm in that
dilemma myself. There's a remake of the linksys WRT range
(WRT1200????) that apparently is very powerful, I guess the issue
is how far along OpenWrt is. I might have the wrong end of
hte stick but I think Dave Taht may have something working.<br>

<br>
I'm not familiar with TalkTalk but they sound like they do
similar<br>
things to Sky - Sky just need a 'login ID' as part of the DHCP
request<br>
packet (which funnily enough are the PPPoA/E login details)<br>
<br>
In terms of speed sacrifice, erm, none really. I've set 40mpbs
incoming<br>
and 9990kbps for outgoing on a 40000/9999 link as reported by
the<br>
modem. Probably critically I've set the packet overheads to 12, and
I<br>
now can't remember why... there's an on-wire vlan tag (4 bytes) but
the<br>
reason for the other 8 have fallen out of the brain cell.<br>
<br>
I've a semi-regular backup job overnight that on a bad day overruns
into<br>
the day - a week or so ago it ran for something like 2 days and I
had<br>
absolutely no idea - thinkbroadband's ping monitor was
registering<br>
something like an extra 5mS latency over the baseline, peaks
were<br>
something like 25mS - backup stats and openwrt's stats package
were<br>
registering the full 10mbps uplink in use during that time.<br>
<br>
Does that help?<br>
