Default BT Home Hub - What like?

Just been sent a free BT home hub. Don't really need it as I have a wireless linksys router. Is it worthwhile changing it?

Matts got the BT Home Hub and it seems alright..

If the wirless Linksy is ok and you're happy with it then why change? wait until it breaks

Don`t bother , Emperors new clothes if you ask me and my BT HH2 is a pain in the spam javelin as sometimes it lets me stream video and audio to my Xbox 360 and then other times it blocks it . With no apparent reason , all firewalls turned off , the cat thrown out the window in case static affects it , forums searched , beggerin thing allows me then a film later it blocks it .................. shove it on a shelf as a backup or something .

Actually ..... line up a load of Home Hubs and I will see if I can jump them <------- Starts SV up and motions to everyone to move the ramp away as I won`t need it

Avoid it, it's a bloody liability.

Its made by thompson, its a repackaged Speedtouch, the likes of O2 and BeThere use these as their routers, but they look diffrent. Its fairly good, only think i find is that speedtouch modems in the past had the tendancy to freeze up.

Use the linksys, I'm pretty sure my connection issues are down to the homo hub
