    BT does FTTH ? Didn't know that.
    Sorry - bit outside my area.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: Decent budget router

    Barry; how does the homehub connect to the BT modem ? is it via a ethernet connection ? if so i think any of the cable based routers would be upto the task.

    Re: Decent budget router

    it looks like there is an external modem for bt infinity that connects to the homehub via Ethernet:



    So as Apex has quite rightly said any cable router should do you. I've just got a cisco linksys e4200 which is great but its not a budget router. Maybe the E1200 would be a good idea?
