BT upgrade option for existing customers

You mean the "adaptor Ethernet to phone plug in for the router"?
It's an ATA. Linksys do one (PAP2 IIRC), Cisco do one, and loads of other firms do them too.

Thanks, I wasn't really sure what I was looking for.

I gather the concensus is that the BT Homehub is not that reliable. ie, the wireless connection keep dropping. Is this still the case? Have the recent ones overcome this?

I'm tempted by the free calls, but if the wireless connection is not stable, to me that just cancels out the advantage of the free calls.
 
just got up i have a problem :\

i am due to get activated on the 5th of december . i have just got up and Whoa!, i can not use the phone its like a fax machine noise :(

I have tried new filters,

The 056 number is for your BT Broardband Talk, thats if you took that option up,your BT home number will stay the same.

Not sure why you want to change the Broardband Talk number as iirc you didn't take that option up :confused: .

david334, from your posts I take it you are sticking with your original set-up (rather than utilising the Homehub)?

If that is the case, are you on the free eve & weekend calls via BB and how did you set it up?

On the subject of the Home Hub, it's the ugliest thing i've ever seen. My connection constantly dropped, back in the box it went and i'm sticking with my DG834PN :)
 
i find it rather odd how people going over their limits are being offered unlimited for cheaper. seems rather suspect to me...... :p

here's my mail from a few days ago.....

Sorry man, i did not get round to installing

i installed the stupid software then the homehub was saying no connection :rolleyes:
 
No probs Dave, the more I read about the problems people are having with this Homehub, the more I'm going off the idea.
 
I upgraded to option 3 from option 4 but when i go into my account info on the bt browser it says i now have a 40GB limit! What are BT playing at?
