Any idea's about the power usage compared to the two box setup?

In real terms, BT say it will be more power efficient, as you'll only be powering the one device, but in practical terms, it means you'll get a plug socket back.

In reply to a post by letongue:
Looks quite nice as routers go, easy enough to set up, better than having a separate modem and router too.

From the images and videos online, it looks like a HH4 with a blue strip. Doesn't look as good with the blue strip, but I guess that's personal preference.

Well, without trying to sound like a girl, it matches my colour scheme. Either way, it's better than the old TP-Link monstrosity I had...

Just so you can check, it will say in the manual/box/settings how much the HomeHub 5 uses. The rest are as followed...

HG612 - 5.6W
ECI - 8.6W
HomeHub 4 - 5W
HomeHub 3 - 5W

Technically around 12.1 it should be but it being BT I would imagine around the 13/14W mark.

Going by memory of the correct equation (Watts = 12vx1.5A as shown on router base) I'm getting 18Watts.

Current and power ratings, whilst linked are used for different things.

The 1.5A will refer to the maximum current required or the PSU rating. The power consumption will be that of a typical unit running continuously.. In normal operation there will be time when the consumption increases, such as start-up and the PSU will need to cope with that.

Will they still supply a separate modem - if requested - together with the HomeHub 5?

As installs are still engineer based then yes you will get the white modem option.

Once they move to PCP only, then you will NOT see the engineer in your home and should pay less for the install.
