True, and that's why I switch insurance companies every year
Comparison sites have made it easy to do with insurance and utilities, but unfortunately broadband is a bit trickier. They are just relying on that fact to stop people switching I think, and to avoid having to offer them anything.

Hmm, okay, sounds fairly useless then as I really just want to use it as an access point, since I already have a pfsense based router which is far superior. It's a shame because I could do with a second AP to cover my entire house (very thick walls I think, the re-flashed La Fonera I'm using doesn't give a signal in some rooms).
I suppose I can understand why they locked it down to make tech support simpler, but I do wonder what will happen if a security flaw is found as happened with BT wireless routers.
