Just to highlight we have no input on the actual testing, but based on personally having done 'customer surveys' before that are paid, then it is usually a slow process getting paid, and in this case would suspect they may wait until usable data has been produced.

Otherwise pay you all after a week, and you all switch the kit off.

Some mobile usage research schemes have used a retention payment system, to keep people using the system rather than a one off payment.

I dunno why People are thinking of flashing with stock firmware, at the moment they pay you £25 plus £5 for each survey questioner you complete, the router is worth £40, get the £25 do a couple of surveys then when complete maybe flash it, ya never know they may give ya the router to replace the superhub [censored] (on VM) after complete plus ya get £25 too, ya never know ya may get 4 surveys!

Maybe because they aren't getting replies to emails and the test device is testing when the connection is in use - something they say it won't do.

Also that testing seems to consume several GB per throw.

Do you know how/where I can see how much GB is being used during a test?
It does appear to be testing an awful lot of times during a hour.

Hopefully someone using it will answer that. I don't have one and don't know how it is connected.

That's 1.5 times my allowance, on Plusnet. As long as it's not a 31-day month, in which case it exceeds it.
