Are you with BT for Broadband and have terrible WiFi coverage around the house? If your Internet connection regularly drops or your router constantly needs resetting you could make some enquiries!
If you have the earlier Home Hub 3 you can get an upgrade BT Home Hub for free! I did just that!
Upgrade to a BT Home Hub for FREE
The newer Hub 4 and Hub 5 operate on Dual Band frequencies – 2 ‘radio stations’ (communicate with all your tablets and Iphones etc using a different frequency which gives better range / speed).
If BT are your service provider give them a call. Explain to them that you would like better WiFi coverage around your house. In particular if you have it, that you aren’t able to take full advantage of the faster BT Internet Connection Speed offered by Fibre or Superfast Broadband. BT may upgrade you to the very latest Router free of charge.
If you are willing to pay extra, the new BT Home Hub 5 does away with the separate white box. Therefore if you have the High Speed Broadband it is much neater. Less clutter and only 1 power adaptor instead of 2, so cheaper to run over the course of a year although you have the initial outlay. Upgrade BT Home Hub makes sense, call BT today to see if you can enjoy all the benefits.
New Contract Trap - be Careful..
Make sure when you ask for your free upgrade that it isn’t subject to you extending or renewing your contract. Insist that if your service is poor, WiFi coverage in your home is patchy, you receive the new Home Hub upgrade. Because you are paying for a service that you aren’t getting or is compromised.
