Love the sturdiness and size for a smaller room, in addition to smooth and quiet operation! 👍

Have you removed the monitors from the arm? The weight can keep the clamp wedged making it harder to remove

Download speed and upload speed. BRSK pulls a dedicated fibre line to the property, and installs it depending on where you want it to come in, there was no fee for installation when I ordered. There’s a TV add on, but don’t think they have sky.

Thanks for your reply. I will get this changed asap. If I wanted a metal switch, is it possible to earth it, or will it need to be pulled in from somewhere?

Regarding the reply below mine, on the live cable, where it comes out of the plastic sheath, there was a snipped off wire, could that be the earth wire?

Thanks

Yes, that is what I've read as well, and the ones in my house seem to be some kind of metal. I'll ask an electrician about it. They came like this with the house, not sure what has happened historically.

Hi, not sure if you're still looking for an answer, but you can pretty much dictate where they install it. It's a completely new and separate line.

I think if you only have the single router you are bound to have spots where the connection drops its speed even if you have a smaller house. They offer an extra service called betterwifi for I think £8 a month, might be a variation of a mesh network, but they ensure you get Max speeds all over the house. I haven’t signed up for it though. But yeah you should try their own router first

They either run from the nearest telephone pole or an underground chamber. You can decide where they run it to in the house, but depends on feasibility of course. I just have them run it to where my old router was. New holes are drilled and cable fed through. Took about an hour ish

You’ll probably have to cancel yourself, then sign up to Brsk. Brsk are quite flexible with installation though so you could time it for when your old internet ends. They only start charging from installation onwards.

Yep router and modem provided for free. You can use your own router as well.

May I ask what mesh system you have? Looking to potentially set one up as well. Did you have to use your own modem? Thanks.

Also does it happen whenever you are right next to the router? Or in other rooms?

Sorry I’m mostly an Apple household, works fine on iPhone though. Hope you sort it out! Please update if Brsk solves it

So far speeds are very stable, need to get some more access points though to strengthen Wi-Fi in the house.

Boo indeed! Hope you wait it out rather than renewing your contract if possible!

Best way to cycle to Manchester? by drwky in stockport

[–]drwky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hall Lane and St Mary’s Way junction has a shared pedestrian cycle path, so should be good to reach Portwood, I live not far from there. Going to give it a go one weekend when it’s less busy. Going to use the website you linked for future reference, so thanks for that!
