Just ordered one of these...
Netgear R6800

Should be better than the supplied one. Also means I can take out a 12 month sub instead of 24 months. Was going to take out 24 months to get their supplied router for £ 29.
I don't really need a lot of features so a basic router like this will do for me.

As far as I am aware the router supplied by the ISP is a Technicolor TG589 vac v2. I believe the basic NETGEAR R6800 Nighthawk Dual-Band AC1900 (1.9 Gbps) Smart Wi-Fi Router I have ordered is more up to date and better.

Yeah I am planning on taking out a 250mbit/s download 50mbit/s upload service, it won't be a gigabit. I will be trying to use Ethernet cables direct to router where possible as none of my wifi equipment is 802.11ac and my powerline adapters are rated for 200mbit/s max.
Thinking of buying a USB 802.11ac adapter to try and get max speed over wifi, my iPhone 6 Plus has 802.11ac and when I did a speedtest at my brothers who already has the 250mbit/s service it got max speed albeit in same room as the router which is a Netgear Nighthawk R6400 AC1750 incidentally.
