The standard one provided by Plus.net is the biggest piece of poop I have ever seen, almost as bad as the days of the old BT Voyagers (yes they're that bad)
Netgear quality have subsided a lot these days but a new up and comer on the market is ASUS, their routers are getting some quite good reviews and offer a lot of features for the price paid.

The HH3 may not be the best but it's pretty good for ebay prices. An 'as new' HH4 may well also be within budget on that site. HH3 and HH4 are both suposed to be reliable and have decent wireless range (I don't have either but we have a business hub 3 (same hardware as HH3) at work and it has certainly proven to be reliable.
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Quote from: glloyd I compared a TC-Link to a Draytek Vigour 2710n and it synced 2 meg less.
Do you mean TP-Link? If so, what model?

Whilst 2Mb/s less would be a non-starter for me (almost literally ), the 100kb/s is acceptable with an ability to hold usable connections at well below 1dB SNRM
Are you seriously suggesting a Draytek Vigor 2710n for someone with a £50 budget?

Are you in a FTTC area or thinking of getting FTTC? I would recommend you get the hub 5 then you will not need the OR modem for fibre when you get it.
But if not FTTC area then just get the hub 4 of the well known auction site or BT Shop.
Good quality

I would say that depends whether you want to buy new or not.
Buying from eBay, my DrayTek Vigor 2710 cost me £14.49.
It arrived "as new", with box, all the accessories, still with the protective cellophane on the unit, and everything in perfect condition.
I would highly recommend the Vigor 2710.
If you really wanted to get the most from a £50 budget, recently on eBay there have been at least two or three Draytek Vigor 2850n ADSL+VDSL routers going for £52 to £56.
