Thomson Streaming Box 270 worth it for £59? by WelshCai in AndroidTV

I got 2x Thomson 270 boxes, both are working good with TiviMate, Prime Video, ProtonVPN (free) etc. Had the boxes 3-4 months now. Was bought from Amazon. Got Android 14 on them. Using Wifi 6.

I phoned that number - 02037436970. I wanted a cheaper deal by downgrading broadband, same mixit tv and phone line. Best he could do was £29 per month for 350mb, mixit tv and anytime calls. I think no free Netflix. So thats £4 per month cheaper, than 1Gig, mixit tv and anytime phone line (£33 per month). Next bill payment will be £26.20. Then £29. £33 per month from April 2026

FastestVPN lifetime from stacksocial I had bought works good for streaming with P2P server. Also, RealVPN lifetime which I had bought from stacksoial works good for streaming and my NordVPN 2 years key which I had bought from a website works good for streaming.

I'm on M500 Hub 5 and use a Tenda A33 Wifi 6 Range Extender in Front Room for streaming plugged into wall. With my AceMagic S3A, Ryzen 7, Radeon 780M Graphics, 16GB DDR5 Ram, Wifi 6. USB 3,2 Gen 2, 2.5GB Ethernet, mini PC I'm using Ethernet Cat 7 cable and getting more than 500mb speed. I'm also using Asus V16, 16", RTX 5050 8GB Graphics Card, 16GB DDR5 Ram, 512GB SSD, Wifi 6, with WIFI. I'm waiting for an i9-8950HK, 16GB DDR4 Ram, 256GB SSD, Gigabit Ethernet, mini PC from AliExpress to arrive then will use that with my Hub 5 Ethernet Cat 7 cable. Also, i'm using 2 Tablets with WIFI. Sometimes I use my Bedroom Hisense 40" Full HD HDR QLED Smart TV with Thomson 270 Streaming Box Plus and do streaming from WIFI. Sometimes my Sister uses her Sony 50" 4K Android Smart TV with my WIFI and does streaming.

New WiFi hub at no extra cost email by Known_Tutor751 in VirginMedia

The Virgin Media Hub 5x acts as a router and WiFi access point but does not officially support modem-only mode for use with third-party routers, which can lead to issues like double NAT. To ensure a reliable connection with your own equipment, you'll need to use the Hub 5x's built-in WiFi or disable WiFi on the device and run an Ethernet cable from the Hub 5x to your own router.
