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
http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/blu...patches/win32/
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.
