Mainly replying let you know the 2820 its firewall is up 50mb so my guess is...if you stay ONLY with up to 40mb package should be ok

Here some posts with 2820 and FTTC if helps you out till a 2820 user comes and reply you

If you already have it wait until you connect it and try it to see how is going
at post (link )up a member claiming is getting near 70mb if i remember well

The only of draytek products that are best is either the 2750 (but is only vdsl & router)
and the 2850 all in one

If you want draytek products and can afford to get something keep an eye at dabs and "buy used stock" usually are in good price
http://www.dabs.com/products/draytek-vigor-2750n-vdsl-fttc--wifi-router-7W6H.html?refs=4294963788&src=3 (i prefer it but i have an adsl connection)
http://www.dabs.com/products/draytek-as-vigor-2850n---support-for-vdsl-infinity-or-adsl-2--7VMS.html?refs=4294963788&src=3

a member got a 2850 from used stock and seems is been well at the moment
http://www.forum.draytek.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17814&p=74208#p74208

The warranty is for 90 days only with used items but if you not getting the speeds or a problem i am sure will show up immediately ... dabs will give you refund with that days

Again not blame me and use at first the one you have all ready
Leave the BT modem and router the first 2-3 or 10 days of training period with infinity then swap it to test with 2820

Just FYI, I have "Upto 76/19M" (80/20) FTTC service (= infinity2) and I can get the full 76Mbps through my 2820n via WAN2 (using a wired port, I don't trust wireless throughput because it's usually up a tree regardless of what router I use). I get 16.5Mbps upload, which I think is the line maxing out. QOS turned off.

This was a pleasant surprise to me.

Hi Jed can you tell me how to configure that?

is it straight from the telephone line to the wan2 socket?

I was under the impression that bt will supply two boxes, a standard modem and and a separate homehub/router thing.
