Do ISPs ever provide nice modems even if you ask nicely/pay?
I'm with Plusnet and our router (which is next to a BT fibre box) is a bit knackered, mostly because it's been mistreated during our building work to be honest.
I asked nicely the other day and they're sending me a 'Plusnet One Hub' which is apparently a rebranded BT Home Hub 5 (I'm hoping it will be a rebranded Home Hub 6 but I don't think Plusnet have rebranded that yet) for free, I don't even have to pay the usual £6 P&P.
I don't know how good it is but the Home Hub's seem to have a good reputation and if nothing else it will be one box instead of the two I currently have.

I was thinking about DKs suggestion of modem setups recently and using the ISP box in modem mode sounds bonkers. Think I'm with chris here. Can't be having it. Unless it's literally outside the front of the house in a weatherproof box with a cable coming in.
