Re: BT Infinity
Nice you got sorted. Are you getting a refund for the lack in quality over the last few days.
The problem I had to dropouts with BT was simply being that every house surrounding me back then had the same BT hardware and wireless channels were constantly conflicting

Nothing to do with the same BT hardware because all Wifi routers use the same few overlapping channels so its all wifi hardware. Makes it worse when the router decides itself which channel to use and picks overlapping channels. There are really only 3 of the 11 (or 14 in you are a bad boy) channels you can use on G. This link will explain for the geeky types Why Channels 1, 6, and 11? | MetaGeek This wiki page is also very good List of WLAN channels - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It gets worse when you are using N with a 40Mhz bandwidth. Basically the wifi standard is stupid having 5Mhz centre spaced channels when G uses 20Mhz wide channels and N often uses 40Mhz wide channels so overlapping causes interference. You could be better on the same channel as your neighbours instead of overlapping a channel with them. Most routers now select the channel for you and don't take into account overlapping so often choose stupid channels like 2 or 5

Re: BT Infinity
It doesn't matter whose make of router they are, usually just a lot of routers close together with poorly auto selected channels in use.
