    Thanks for the replies monkified, honcho, at the beginning I was to get up to 40mbps and last year
    it was increased to 70 I think but the best I ever got was 38.5 but you could count on your fingers the
    number of times I got that over 3-4 years. The average would be 20-23 Mbps but last night it was 4.47.
    I don't have a set budget just whatever it takes.

    read this m8 here what some are using to get what they want as hub5 is shite on features

    Hi any people out there useing a BT home hub 5 router and
    can you suggest something better. I have fibre optic option 2
    and am having a lot of buffering and even signal dropout.



    I had exactly the same problems as you approx a month back, i am also with BT using HH5 and option 2


    I phoned them, told them i had done all the tests, tried someone else's router at it worked fine, the next day they sent me a brand new one free of charge


    No problems at all since

    Hi prophet, went and bought a netgear N600 wireless dual band gigabit router
    which gives me faster wifi speed 300+300- up to 600 Mbps and is a great improvement
    on the HH5. I went on the recommendation from mckee25 and glad I did so.

    This sounds awesome mate and something I would certainly add to my Xmas list


    Is it a modem & router combined or just the router ?


    Was it difficult to setup and move your own account details over to it ?
