should the routers you get with your internet package work with any ISP?

thinking of selling one (BT home HUB)

thanks

Homehub is usually locked to BT but can be unlocked (Google is your friend).

Sell it and get a decent router (Netgear, Linksys)

No, usually 2 different types of routers; ADSL or Cable routers.

Most ADSL routers can be used with any ADSL ISP, there are just the very odd few exceptions. Of course ISP's will try to sell you their own router and not disclose the fact you can just go online and get a better one cheaper!
