BT Home Hub 3.0
-
After years of refusing to upgrade my internet connection box because I am not a new customer British Telecom have suddenly decided to give me a shiny new Home Hub 3.0 without me asking for it. All I did ask them to do was to stop restricting my connection speed to 320Kbps because after 4 days I was more than a little fed up. They blamed my existing box, offered the free replacement, and then removed the restriction from the line 20 minutes later :doh: Anyway so now I have the new box and I wonder whether I should whack it in and use it? The difference will be I will no longer have a DMZ, a full blown PC running software I can monitor and control, sitting between my nice LAN and the bandit county of the internet. Can I really trust the little black box to keep me safe as well as connected? Any thoughts or relevant experience?

The illustrious Dave Auld is your man. I believe he has one and is very happy with it. Perhaps he'll chime in when he next surfaces.
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
