| In early 2024 I requested an upgrade to get fibre in to my house for primary internet access (FTTP). Once the fibre and modem were connected things worked prety quickly, save at this time I found my Router modem BMC was not working properly and need a new battery. Also my old back DSL modem Router that had WAN eithernet input was limiting performance, 100M ethernet connection with 100M fibre..... Unfortunately my ISP (Internet Service Provider) messed up the process and had my existing copper connection (FTTN) disconnected over 3 weeks before the fibre installation was installed. Save for router hardware problems, the fibre install worked immediately. My static IPv4 address took another 4 weeks to get working correctly, basically because of the ISP. So after a few days hot spotting of mobile phones, where my son had already run out of data, I purchased a 4G modem and set up 4G access with a local supplier. This is so much slower and unreliable compared to the hardwired connection. Also I lost my static IP that stopped external Internet access to my various servers, email, wiki, & cloud. For 3 - 4 weeks I could not be bother setting up an alternative. All the services still work on my LAN except the email server. (The email server does actually operate on my LAN but it pretty pointless without access to external internet!) I was lucky that my server SSL certificates should be valid through this period. Interestingly the mobile services seem to work reasonably well for working from home, basically office/company VPN access. MSSharepoint and MSTeams. I hate MS Sharepoint but that is a whole other discussion / diatribe. | In early 2024 I requested an upgrade to get fibre in to my house for primary internet access (FTTP).
