ISP "free" Routers

I have just read the router review in Computer Shopper. The TalkTalk free router matched paid for ones, HH5 was quite good, Sky's was average but Plusnet and I quote

"Even if PN is one of the cheaper ISPs out there, that's not an excuse to supply customers with such a poor router".

Fortunately there are plenty of us whose requirements are minimal!

(I voted out in 1975 and nothing has changed my mind since!)

Is that the new Sagecom, or the old 582N?

It's the Hub Zero 2704n

I can't find the review on Computer Shopper's website. Just get bombarded by ads.

Thanks , but is that the article you meant to link to? No mention of either Plusnet router, and it's 15 months old.

Only one I can find apart from the ads you mention

It is probably the UK version where it is only available by subscription http://subscribe.computershopper.co.uk/

It is in the print version of the September issue, just out.
Makes you want to cry...

Not suprising really, regardless of ISP i would never use their free (excl P &P) toy & hobby routers, my limited experience of free supplied by ISP routers /modems is enough never to go down that route again,IMO It's not part of the ISP's Ship to provide hardware FOC , fine if they want to sell top products by top brands , but i doubt they could be competive on prices
