Do I need a new router?

Hi,

I'm upgrading from ADSL to Unlimited Fibre next week.

When I ordered Unlimited Fibre last week, the rep said my
current router, a Huawei HG532 ADSL 2+ "should" be OK.

I wasn't convinced.

@cybertez you're right not to be convinced. From what I can see the 532 does not have a vdsl capable modem.

You'll need a new router...

I would have thought a new suitable router/modem (Hub One?) is sent out anyway whether the customer already has one suitable or not?

You're paying for it anyway!

Thanks any suggestions of make and model?
Or should I create a new thread and ask?

They said I could have a new one if I paid £6 postage.

I saw some posts saying the Hub One wasn't that good, so may go for another
model and make.
