My router (Asus) is the kitchen sink support wise - it almost does the lot and I
have it connected to the VirginMedia router that is set as a modem as wifi wise
it stinks.
It would take but a minor system change for v6 support to be fully loaded.
Now getting tech. support from VM is another story - almost a waste of space and
effort as all such requests go to India as a level 0.5 (yes less than 1) support
and are answered by a female reading from the mk 1 training
booklet.
So I have two issues here one, my hearing is only in the range 0 - 2kh and that
is with a very expensive hearing aid as they speak above that I find it almost
impossible to understand a word they are saying assuming I can understand across
their accent which is almost as bad - I have given up unless it is an emergency
:(
It is next to impossible to contact a UK support person but that might change as
my contract expires in March so will be giving them the bad news that I am
moving back to slow, fast broadband (50 - 65 Mb) currently on 275Mb !

Yep, but does not help me - there again if the ISP is not supporting it, I do
not have to worry about it.
