VM broadband installation location - no power source
The Virgin Media service has recently been activated in my area and I am considering switching to the VM broadband-only service. I assume that the VM service to my property would follow the same route/duct as the BT/phone line and terminate close to the existing BT master socket. My property does not have a power source in the hallway where the BT master socket is located. There is nothing plugged directly into the master socket. My current hub/router is located on the other side of my property (in the living room) and connected via an internal phone socket extension that was fitted within the stud wall when the property was built. I also have several ethernet cables to this location, two of which connect to Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi access points via a switch (I don't use the ISP's hub Wi-Fi). This is where I would need the VM hub/router to be positioned. Will VM be able to install their service in a completely different location to the BT master socket location? If so, I assume this would involve running a cable around the outside of my property, which may not be aesthetically pleasing. Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance.IP / Traceroute through Luton
I'm located near county Durham so having my data routed through Luton is confusing to me, IP also shows there too (not much of issue as BT gave me far away IP's before). I've seen a post or 2 without any resolve about using a local node instead of one so far away. Now ping is between 11-14, not bad at all, but with it being on their new XGS-PON network (NextFibre), I was expecting between 5-10ms, especially as my old GFast connection was a stable 12ms Speed tests to "local" locations - Newcastle / York / Manchester give a higher ping. 17-20ms on various servers for each. This indicates to me its hitting Luton then back up north again, then to me, but I could be wrong. New install today, Hub 5x of course being on XGS-PON So why is it i'm routed through Luton and could this be why the ping is higher than I expected? Also is there a way to have my WAN IP change to be more local (I've seen this mentioned) Traceroute example through 1.1.1.1 DNS (Cloudflare) [MOD EDIT: Images containing private information removed]
