[ubuntu-uk] Orange Livebox (internet) with Ubuntu

[Tom Bamford]

Hello,

Having work with an Orange livebox for a client, I can say they are 
terrible units with poor firmware and fault tolerance. The two I used 
frequently dropped the ppp connection for no reason and gave mediocre 
Wifi range and performance. The service itself didn't seem too bad, if 
you are willing to buy your own router.

My personal recommendation would be www.f2s.com, but some people have 
reservations about Pipex, who now owns them.

Regards,
Tom
