    We currently supply the Technicolor TG582 for most ADSL services, but we are considering switching to a new router, the ZyXEL VMG1312-B It is very comprehensive and does both ADSL and VDSL as well as bridging and wifi. It means we can have one router for all service types. As some of you may know, BT will be changing FTTC to be "wires only" next year, and so a VDSL router will be needed. We have a small number available now for people to trial - we want to test the routers, our "standard config" and the provisioning process. Please contact trial@aa.net.uk or #trial on the irc server for more information. P.S. Obviously it does Internet Protocol, the current one, IPv6 and the old one IPv4 Obviously this initial trial is limited number of routers which we are sending out at no charge to try different scenarios. However, we expect to be shipping these as standard later in the month, and they will be available to purchase on the web site.
