Will any router work?
Can customers use their own?

EDIT : My apologies, you must be using a multicast enabled router. We provide one if you don't have a Plusnet one already.

That'll be the BT Flex 500. Pretty good standard in my opinion, and cheaper than most places online.
@dynoman- No sports channels in the offering just yet.

Though we are playing it a little bit safe at the moment, and estimates below this may perform fine.

Apart from Discovery and MTV (neither of which appear to be in HD) there is nothing outstanding in any of the packages and definitely not worth £8 a month to me.
Although I don't have FTTC yet I was hoping there would be something to look forward to. Very disappointing in my opinion.

Quote from: Mav I'm a bit confused. Are you really charging an extra £3 to get BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, C4 and a few others?
Just to clarify; all the freeview channels such as those come as standard with the box, making them inclusive of the £5 a month.
