Got mine through last Thursday only prob i have is the password for advanced settings wont work and the wireless stopped working and the only way to turn it on is in advanced setup. everything else is good and the fact i now have 8mb instead of 1mb im not complaining too much get an extra phone line with it too which is handy as my mrs is always on the other line
With all the other stuff thats supposed to appear soon with it shoud be good i.e TV and stuff look forward to its future

Had a quick look and went to order now, the packages looked capped so i fucked it right off. Only looked at one page so maybe they do better but BT can sniff my anal beard
I had a go with the 'See how much GB you need', it said I need Bt Broadband Option 4........there is no option 4, well the page is blank anyway. Good start eh lol
Just out of interest I thought I'd chaeck what speed I could get......
Check availability - results

Our initial test on your phone line indicates that you should be able to have BT Broadband with a likely maximum speed of up to 4.5Mb (Megabits per second).
They can stick that right up their hairy hubs!

People that don't d/l stuff & just surf the net will probably make this BT gimik a hit. For me personally no thank you BT shove it !!!!!!!
BT have gone with the total package way of things, they must have realised they are saving so much money now Im no longer with them on bandwidth use that they can give 250 minutes of BT Openzone access with their packages. The 2nd number is a good thing especially if your house has a very busy phone line.
TV via the connection is a gimik I can get it via an aerial. It would be interesting to see how much bandwidh is used by this and when other hardware is required how does it connect to the TV?
Wireless access everyone seems to want this, why especailly when most of the time people have the pc next to the phone line. Its useful for me with a pc upstairs and a laptop I use anywhere.
Would I go for a home hub? nope as I would have to go back to a cap of upto 40GB and that is no good.
I got stiched up by BT they upgraded my conection to 8 Meg unlimited download (which was Option 4) and they gave me a voyager 2500 router which cost me £40 (supply your own phone!). One month later they brought out the wireless hub with phone built in and they dropped my package to 40Gb a month d/l limit (Option 3) but they won't give me a hub and they are giving them away free to upgrades and new connections.
Not for me though VOIP is the future
These new BT Hubs are really unreliable. I know of three that have died in the past month or two. One actually went up in flames - self cremation ?

a poo package just glitzed up its a voip phone and a router
and the end of the day
business wise its a very smart move for BT, and more connectivity around cant be a bad thing, unless the prices slowly climb, then its no so good
got mine through yesterday
for free just rung bt up said old routor was knackered they sent out homehub and dect phone
only prob is the hub phone takes 6-8weeks to arrive

I have stolen money from a DF member and a member of Disqworld. All my personal details including families details are on file and will be made public to everyone if I do not refund the money I stole or send the goods I promised. My name will be ravaged across the net and the consequences will be severe if I do not sort this fucking mess out.
Love the hardware, although i recently experianced bt's india broadband tech support desk, and it truly was horrific. I spoke to 3 different guys who I could barely understand at all, nevermind discussing my technical problems.
I recall a time not so long ago when BT were second to none for customer support, now I find I couldnt recommend them to anyone.
Roll on the time when they realise the cost of outsourcing to india is a lot larger than employee's hourly rate
got the hub,drops connection when the fucker feels like it,imo its pish.

well I moved house and got one of these, very mac like to me its nicer than the frogs they used to supply
however they were meant to connect me on the 3rd of october and still waiting today, the indian tech support is truly shocking absolutely shocking, they just get you to to tell them the status of the lights and then say you connection doesnt work, no shit batman why do you think I am calling you.
Would not recommend BT to any one anymore despite having been with them for nearly 5 years in which they had provided a faultless service, we really need to boycott any company that uses these call centres especially for something like tech support
