Ring up and moan, they have to give you another if they think it is wrong, how other internet providers I have had work so guess the same, dad not a nice new router from talk talk when moaning internet was not good and the lights on the router not normal. try, you can only ask.
If you go into my BT ( log in) and then my broadband, then BT HH4 ( down the side) you can buy a nice new hub only out to buy 2 days ago.
