I'm no fan boy of BT, but we have fibre broadband here in Lincoln and the Wifi has been brilliant so far.

2 x Wifi repeaters approx £15 each. And those are retail prices... Of course you are quite right: business exists to make money - something BT have just fallen down on Bigtime judging by tonights news Of course you can actually get the Broadband router with WiFi for free with most contracts only leaving the repeaters to buy: you could even get a couple of reasonable quality ones for £50 each.

with a dislike of BT. Feels a bit like MGR bashing that was so popular at one time. We know how to support our busienesses that provide jobs to tens of thousands! |

P.S never bashed MGR either - only MG when it used to be MG Vs Triumph back in the 70s..... and then it was only friendly rivalry and a laugh (by both sides).

For anyone that is thinking of buying the BT Whole Home WiFi System, you dont have to be a BT customer for it to work on your home network etc. The 3 dish unit is compatible with all home broadband providers, so you can be a TalkTalk, Virgin, EE customer and the system will still work.
If anyone wants to solve any Wifi dead spots in their home or business, it would be sensible to try a Wifi Expander first. These units start from just £15 and will normally solve the problem for many, save you spending £300. |

It appears reviewers also do not agree with your point of view - look at the ratings and prices! http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/test-cent...17-uk-3217482/ http://www.alphr.com/bt/1003795/bt-s...outer-bar-none http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/mo...eview-3643011/ http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/review/wi...outer-3489762/ Last edited by MSS; 25th January 2017 at 20:06.. |

I currently have PN version the of the Home Hub unit. It's quite basic and has very few useful features beyond the absolute basics, but does perform well enough in what it does do. However if I was spending over £70 on a Broadband router & WiFi I'd expect a lot richer feature set. (I got this one for free from PN) and am considering an upgrade to provide the features I want in a broadband router solution.

" It is the only router to get 5* out of all the routers costing up to £200. These ISP routers are designed to provide the features required by 99.9% of the public and the BT one provides excellent performance, build quality etc. as well. It is the performance that is relevant to 99.9% of the consumer market, not complex WAN onfigurations etc. If you need more features, spend circa £300 and buy yourself a Drayek Vigor or £1k and buy a CISCO. The fact that you use a BT Hub, despite the above views, says it all really. Last edited by MSS; 26th January 2017 at 06:14.. |
