Does anybody have this or has any knowledge of it?
I will be moving house soon and am looking to change my ISP and this looks like a superb deal, Im currently on AOL 2meg and i can get 6.5meg with BT for the same price at my new place (the web site checked my post code and say's 6.5 is achievable)
I gather that the home hub is a wireless set up but as im getting a desktop PC how do i set it up with this (the PC will be in a room without a main phone socket)
Thanks
Jim.

I found the service at BT shocking, And the charges for exceeding the DL limits are a joke, I suggest you look for an alternative mate, I know I did.

hi,
Are you sayiny you are setting up wireless for the first time. Just make sure you get one that has a good range. Summer in the garden playing poker is great but you need a good range.

Hi Denis, No I currently have AOL wireless but am moving house and getting a desktop so wont be playing in the garden (or bath, toilet....damn) But how do i set the wireless Hub up with my desk top? Just thought that this BT option sounded like a good deal |

i got a home hub. had a lot of problems at first with it losing connection for just enough time to time me out of a hand. they say it can do this for a couple of weeks until your line gets used to it or something  mostly fine now. bt service was great a few years ago but shocking now. i use the ethernet cable. can't you run it under the carpet or something? |

Will having a telephone extension cable effect the connection speed byron? If it doesnt then that will be no problem to stick it under the carpet

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.
