Talk Talk have offered me a replacement router for £80 without providing any details. Can you provide some information about the router included in the offer.

If you're able to wait until the last 4 months of your contract and renew, you should be able to get a replacement router free of charge, @Johnboyo.

Hi there Johnboyo. Any out of warranty equipment will no longer receive automatic software updates but please be reassured that this does not mean that the device isn’t secure or not performing, as we will continue to monitor devices for security vulnerabilities.

Exclusive Offers

New WiFi Hub 3 Router: £80 (30% off)

WiFi Boosters: £60 (40% cheaper than BT’s equivalent)

Depending on the equipment that requires updating, you will either receive a link in your email communications or be directed to MyAccount to upgrade. The email link will guide you to a form which will capture your intent to purchase new equipment, and the price will automatically be added onto your next bill.

Why Upgrade?

WiFi Hub 3: Stronger, faster, more energy-efficient, and mesh-ready.

Boosters: Seamless whole-home coverage with a single network ID—no more dead zones.

If you do not upgrade your equipment or recontract onto a new package, your current services may not meet the new TSA guidance. This could affect the reliability of your telecom services in the future as you will no longer receive automatic software and security updates once the equipment has stopped being supported.

Please note this is an Ofcom requirement affecting all telecoms providers so we must comply with making customers aware of the new guidance. There is no requirement to upgrade if you’re happy with how your current equipment is performing. However, we can take a look at other packages with newer models of equipment to see if this is more suitable to your needs.

Customer network or data will not be immediately at risk as we will continue to monitor the security and performance of all devices. Thanks

Hi, I'm really just after some technical details about the router on offer. Make and model number; that sort of detail.

Thanks.

My concern - apart from the obvious money being asked for a router...... is that, as my Broadband signal is so relatively poor, (consistently less than the 12 Mbps offered), then how would the new router help with that? If the speed for both uploading and downloading is so poor, then please advise me, and others in a similar predicament!
