If you bought a BT home hub router thing from eBay wioll it work with any ISP or not? Presumably underneath it all its just a wireless router?

quick google found this - http://www.thedvdforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-471835.html
Important bit -
quote: It has been unlocked but if you do so you lose the use of the DECT bits as the phone won't register with the base.

However if you are thinking of using it as a router I wouldn't bother, its shite??? You can buy my awesome Netgear one off me if you like ?

ok tr5anslation - you can put new hacked software on the homehub to allow you to use it as a router but then cant use the phone, or you can do it the other way round (unless u have bt broadband, in which case can use both at the same time)
Overall though, I would rather have a good router and a good landline phone separately, cos they are both below my normal standard of technology, if I had bought it i would take it back saying it wasnt good enough
