Yes you get free Wireless-N router and USB stick.

Just had 50MB fitted 2 weeks ago. Left my Draytek Vigor 2100 Router doing the business, leaving the free D-LINK in the box, and couldn't get above 24Mb/sec ever.

Phoned the 50MB Help line and got a very knowledgable chap (who'd have thought!!!) who said "Wireless type G" that will be the problem. They top out at 22Mb/sec

Connected laptop direct to modem, connected to a download site

downloaded the two biggest files, combined speed 5MB/sec. So he was right!

Put the free D-LINK router in place of my Draytek, now everything runs at 50.54Mb according to www.speedtest.net.

Reconfigured the DrayTek to do VOIP (the reason I have it!) through the D-LINK, all working correctly.

Feeling quite pleased with myself.
