I've started keeping my cards in RFID blocking sleeves.  Get them on eBay for a few quid.   

Best of both worlds. Good OS, Nice hardware.

Something like this? http://www.dabs.com/products/netgear-12-port-gigabit-fiber-layer-2-managed-switch-gsm7212f-100nes-7YSD.html

You could always get a smallish core switch with enough fibre capable ports to connect two to each access switch and at you're "core" location just have two switches using your existing one (uplinked to the new core switch) for the copper connections to devices.

Agreed the sfp ports on those switches only support 1G. Forgot to say I'd run 4 fibre patches and aggregate all four sfp port to get 8Gb

Oops hadn't read this before my previous post looks good give me 5 mins to follow you're links I reckon that'll work a treat only unknown is will the sfp work with you're switches? For the money though it's worth a punt.

Fibre has the advantage that you'll be able to support higher bandwidth links when you upgrade you're switches on the future. If you go with copper I'd install a few cables so you can at least use link aggregation once you're bandwidth requirements grow beyond 1G. What length is the cable run?

If we remove technical expertise and qualifications from the debate (The Theory) then it seems to me that often the issue with people who are not time served is they haven't mastered the craft of their trade whether that's reflected in the lack of basic cable craft or the inability it terminate...

I love my Nest it looks good and feels nice to use. The new v3 has second relay for hot water. Not much use for a combi off course. Good integration between nests if you've got multiple zones but at £200 each not cheap.

Luckily, he found

When were you round my place? :^O

Thanks for the replies folks, That's what I thought.

Evening Folks, I have a hypothetical question. If you were wiring a domestic lighting installation say for a single story flat. Is there anything either in BS7671 or in the Building regulations to prevent you from placing all the switches for every light fitting in a central location? I had...

I suppose the new 'DSLAMs' or whatever they're called must be smaller. I guess an exchange based DSLAM is a modular chassis with multiple line cards and the VDSL device will in effect be equivalent to an individual line card. I think the main motivation BT have for using this technology is...

It's VDSL so different from virgin media's cable offering. In a nutshell its Fibre to the cabinet in the street and the DSLAM is there rather than in the exchange This results in a much shorter length of copper between the DSLAM and your router which can support a higher bit rate and in turn...

I'm envious, my exchange isn't ready yet. I don't think your wasting your time for not much extra cost your getting lots more bandwidth. It depends what you use the internet for but it will really improve you ability to use on demand content. :)

I love new tricks, I didn't realise until last week that Brian's wife in the show is James Bolam's wife in real life. :)

I would wait a few weeks and have a look at a Windows 7 Phone. :)

It's brilliant, although its making me cringe at times. :^O

Are you sure? I thought the Meter belonged to your chosen supplier not the DNO. ?:|
