BT Home Hub sales reach 3 million mark

Three million BT Home Hubs have been sold since the wireless modem was launched in the UK two years ago, with many BT broadband subscribers opting for a more expensive subscription that includes the Home Hub above BT’s basic subscription package.

“The BT Home Hub has been developed through close co-operation between BT and Thomson,” said Steve Andrews, managing director of Strategy, Convergence and Products at BT. “We have now rolled out a very advanced and extremely practical offering, bringing together a group of features that have proved really popular, including IPTV, video on demand, and the ability to automatically transfer calls from a mobile phone to the fixed line to reduce call charges.”

Last week BT released its new Home Hub 2.0 which boasts twice the wireless range of routers from any other ISP in the UK. It also features a power-saving mode, child protection and a built-in firewall helping prevent viruses and unwanted intruders. The new Home Hub updates itself automatically with new features such as security updates. BT Home Hub 2.0 is available free to all new customers who sign up to BT broadband Option 2 or Option 3 online. Existing customers can get the wireless router for £45.
