Router Comparisons

Anyone come across any comparisons between Vidafone's THG3000 and Plusnet's offering please?

Particuarly interested in WiFi performance and power consumption.

You are going to choose a provider based on their router? Most providers routers are more or less the same as performance goes, they are a basic unit built to a price, some providers like BT may stick a lot of bloat in them, but they are all still built to a price.

Best to get your own, TP -link produces some good routers for around £70 mark, you may need a modem if you are on FTTC, but can get one for eBay pretty cheap. You can buy a VDSL router, but best to buy one with no modem, then you can use it for fibre when you change.

I thought the OP was meant to be leaving Vodafone as he claimed the FTTP service wasn't working properly?

Yes he is but his jumping to PlusNet, that's why he is looking for a comparison.

Lets hope he doesn't rely on PlusNet wifi for any broadband speed tests.

No, I have already chosen my provider. I simply wanted to know if it is worth getting/using the router they supply?

I'm on FTTP, as per my signature, so what TP Link unit do you recommend?

He is.

I'm glad someone is keeping up.
