Fibre to the kerb broadband: upstream and downstream line rates
Is it absolutely the case that the upstream and downstream line rates are determined solely by the in house router and the Openreach cabinet in the street?

Linking laptop webcam to another device?
Okay, I have no idea if this is possible but I thought this would be the place to ask! I want to find a way to use my laptop webcam to monitor the downstairs in my house, but then "send" the footage somehow to my PC, tablet or phone, pretty much in real time.

The central speaker itself worked fine when I connected it in another position, so I assume that there's a fault in the sub-unit... Also, I used to…
