That is #50, the SpeedTouch 546 was about #20.

I wonder why the big boys are not acting, there is a stated aim (that I have seen somewhere)
of 20% adoption by 2010 - we aren't going to get there.
I suppose that IPv6 support will add 10p to the cost of a broadband router ... which is enough
to put them at a competitive disadvantage.
