Well what I have done here is to use their router as a simple modem and put
a network cable through to where I want the router and as these seem pretty
cheap run it there. This has the added bonus for me is that all the desktop
machines are hard wired and only the portable stuff needs the wifi.
In my view these hubs they all bundle seem to be their own worst enemies
having antennas inside the case and no aerial socket.
I have however been through several power supplies for their hub as these
seemingly do fail quite often.
I'm assuming you still have to take their phone though I'm not sure. I have
it, but the costs seem similar to BT, although the call anytime is quite
good if still marketed. Its not cheap though, no matter what they start it
as, just like the other companies they give you free speed increases then
after a few months oh look the price has gone up!

VM charge the same with or without a phone line, eventually I dropped
the bt line and use the vm for incoming calls and a mobile (6 quid a
month)for all outgoing ones, vm are very dear on their phone call
charging unless you can justify the all inclusive option.
