Yes, Rubbish - I Posted (3) Responses - (2) Of Which Blown Off Into Space...
Common Practice HK indirect fibre service - fibre feeder terminated by breakout box providing up to 100 8m/12m cu flat taps terminated by adsl2 - this is reality of 30m "fibre" service offering...
fibre 100M, 500M vlans / 1000M modified vlans dependent on physical distance from time division switchgear exchange - either wanchai or kowloon side...
Pls Discuss the Real Issue with 100M / 500M terminated with "wretched" Huawei Echolife HG863 Epons vlans... PCCW Either Provides (via tariff charge) Wireless Router or Take DIY Wireless Router Cost & Burn It! Same Goes For Other Providers... Thanks ever...

which icable fibre service? if 30m you may be able to do diy/airport if 100m/500m & vlans you will find it is locked & diy downstream wireless router is problematic...
one suggestion: Marc's Blog: iPhone, Hotel Rooms and Internet Access or How to Use an Apple Airport Express... Marc's blog
when my significant other isn't cutting, she has attends research conferences and this application of apple airport express has worked for her re: cu lan room service only / no wireless
remember to select "bridge" mode via mac or pc BEFORE connecting lan cable...

PCCW moves the DSLAMs from the exchange to the Residential Building and gets to pass it off as fiber... and everyone sucks it up. IT IS FIBER!
Prior to moving the DSLAM, the customer's data did eventually go onto Fiber...." but one was on fiber back then.
yes the moving the DSLAM over to the residential building allows faster ADSL, but you are still on ADSL you don't have fiber connection.
Everyone is walking telling in a manly manner "Hey I am getting fiber"... "When I get that fiber, that downloads from the UK are going to run at 1Gbit... and stuff"
It is amazing the power of PCCW marketing to make people accept lies, misinformation as "common wisdom"Last edited by Fenix2; 19-04-2011 at 12:37 PM.

I am confused by the issues people have with wireless routers in this forum. When I had PCCW 18M ADSL the guy came and installed it, I plugged a $140 TP-LINK wireless router in and configured it for PPPoE and hey presto.
I changed to an Airport Extreme and then when the guys came to run new fibre for the 100M service he simply plugged the AEBS in and asked me to change it to DHCP et voila.
There were no extra charges for wifi other than I suppose purchasing a wireless router.
I know there's no further costs or difficulties with i-cable as I installed an Airport Express for a friend last year - I just can't remember if it was PPPoE or DHCP.
DHCP is obviously easier as it self configures but PPPoE simply needs your (in the case of PCCW) netvigator email address and first 6 digits of the HKID associated with the account.
(Wow lots of acronyms ITT!)

yes, I had a good day, continuing,
in the case of PCCW (& other 100m & 500m providers hk/s'pore who obtain portal access from PCCW or S'ingTel) offer a Gigabit ETHERNET Passive Optical Network (GPON) NOT Ethernet Fibre-to-the-Home (E-FTTH) and vlan is the "Frame" based (in HK) software schema facilitating packet tagging/efficient routing pathways to minimize maximum bandwidth requirements, while the autonomous system numbering is an addressing schema; and again the wretched Huawei hg863 gpon can not be trawled (selective dumping, or other) for the ip address, because said ip address constantly changes. resulting in problematic downstream diy wireless router installs.
moving on, PCCW iNow HD TV is problematic (dropped frames, frames freezing & banding) even with newest/very good quality tv's (both led/lcd's & plasma's 2D/3D experience issues) due to Richard's choice of fixed bandwidth video stream gateways, instead of more expensive dynamic time division dedicated iNow gateways -- "from management level tech support iNow - keep log when watching and call reporting anomolies, v. frequently, to establish need for gateway upgrade" (there are several such switch clusters determined by physical distance from central office.
Ask Me How I Know... and I have had samsung (led/lcd 3d's) and panasonic (plasma / latest revision of pioneer's kuro series) to tweak (3) times and they have brought out PCCW techs and everyone recorded artifact images - above a certain price level things happen without having to ask...
PCCW will send service techs to take images of screen artifacts for tech reports - FIY the media stream content provider (Time Warner HBO) requires auditing of image quality as part of license/franchise to PCCW & does not like direct phone calls to corporate usa office from subscribers in hk- when this occurs PCCW rec's boot on it's backside... & reminding of potential financial liabilities (no more video content to sell)... AND THEY WILL CHANGE OUT YOUR HD Decorder Box SEVERAL TIMES!Last edited by p-cars; 19-04-2011 at 11:05 PM.

And within each frequency channel? is the data switched? Of course not, the bandwidth is shared and open to everyone and open to collisions.
Mr Moo is correct..... and you Protocol again waffle and demonstrate how little you know. You should have used more acronyms maybe you would baffle more people into believing you actually have a clue.
as for you p-cars, you sound like protocl's brother.... Could you write us an essay on the correlation of DWDM to the home and spouse abuse.....Last edited by Fenix2; 20-04-2011 at 09:41 AM.
