  • 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.

  • Nice!

    My access router is the plusnet one you probably got right now and it's quite decent as an access point.

    The hub 5 is ace I hear except hard to hijack for a noob like me.

  • Nicest bit was I also got a £7.50 a month discount for the next 18 months while I was at it :)

    Still wish they'd let people apart from BT/Plusnet offer infinity though. And get rid of the need for a landline I don't want/need.

    Why would you want to hijack a router?!
