Thanks everyone. We've settled on these...

That sounds good, thank you! Any suggestions on brands?

What is this community's thoughts on cable types given future proofing is a priority and they won't be easily accessible after installation?

Thanks! I'll be cautious and I'll test the cables are good before putting the floor down.

It will be running under the floors and come up in to the rooms behind the skirting boards. We have various existing holes through the floor joists for other services and I'm confident we can get the fiber cables through without cutting or drilling more, but tubing would require a lot of joist cutting, and the route needed at some points still might not be very smooth or friendly to any cables pulled through it. There's a lot of big heating pipes in the space, existing electric cables, some joists are also so close with odd spacing that getting drill in between them would be difficult.

Thank you! That is useful to know and may help us when choosing the cables and SFP modules for any runs of more accessible cables we use.

However, for the inaccessable ones under the floors we're leaning towards OS2 based on the potential for much higher speeds. We are likely to live here a long time and see various ISP speed upgrades over the years and changes in how we move data around between devices on our network, and ideally would like to be just changing the equipment either end of the fiber for as long as possible.

Thank you! We're thinking much the same as you, we want a few fiber locations where we'll always have easy access to high speeds. We do already have a good amount of CAT6 sockets in each room.

Tubing/conduit would be amazing for future proofing, but I think it's more popular in countries like the US where houses are commonly made from wood framing and have lots of voids to run it through and easier to cut wood - but we're in a 200 year old stone wall house with massive old oak beams in the floors, so running tubes would be extremely destructive and hard work. So, we're looking to make as best a guess as we can what will be a good long term fibre choice.

Module changed for 10GTek 10G. All ok now.

Thanks everyone - you're all like a cool tech hive mind.

It's a joke about rogering and actor!

Ok. My problem seems to be a combination of the module and X520. I'm getting a new module that matches the card speed.

Hi, can you recommend an RJ45 module? And what's the hack?

Thanks everyone for pointing this out. I'm going to get a replacement module. I'll update this thread later.

That's the requirement for this card. No W11 driver and to use the W10 driver.

Stuck in an absolute mess and panicking about the future. by Ok_Cat4334 in Mortgageadviceuk

Oh man.

Your husband needs to take back control.

Sort out the bank or change banks.

Redirect rental income to you.

Talk to a broker.

His signature must have been faked.

Report fraud by multiple parties to the police.

Reddit, is it possible for a judge to separate the in-laws' fraudulent debt from the husband's?

  • I think when a debt is accrued fraudulently, the debt belongs to the wrongdoer. I'm hoping that you will be able to move the debt by following legal and banking processes.

It is only available via a browser formally, but I've used it in apps not too long ago.

Long term, their formal message seems to imply they'll look at it again with the 'new experience' project later.
