We're still not sure yet whether the service us locked to the ONT's MAC or serial.

There's other factors too but the above two would be enough to spoil anyone's day.

As an aside, would a router you can pick up on ebay for just £20 really be suitable?

B b b b but you're supposed to wait two years before replying.

@Ripshod, any clues as to why it won't work with VF voip? (I'm not familiar with the particular model, but thought about going for an optical one). Its wan config capabilities seem quite rich and I'm guessing the sip settings are similarly detailed. Any experience? Thanks

Grandstream seem to be the only supplier with such detailed settings. With most of the other stuff you can't set things like rel100 or SIP User Agent. I though Yealink were worth a shot but that didn't work out.

Going through the admin manual for this unit it is clearly inadequate. 

@Cynric sorry, couldn't not reply.
