DD-WRT is a custom firmware for many routers (such as the DIR-615). It completely changes the interface (that you get when you go to
http://192.168.0.1) and adds new/additional capabilities of the device. It's not really for the feint of heart though, it's more involved than say installing windows and if you make a mistake, you could brick your router. Its also still very much in beta and requires installing different versions to get something stable (for example, I got a new laptop recently and it wouldn't connect to it, so I updated the firmware - which fixed it, but prevented my smartphone from connecting. It took some trial and error to find a version that both worked with).

It does say in
this BBC article:

Most customers will not notice the upgrades taking place, nor will any have to pay for the changes to take place, a spokesman said.
However, some users with old modems and other similar hardware will receive new up-to-date equipment free of charge.

Of course, we all know that free equipment sometimes comes with an "activation charge" but at the very least it implies that everyone gets a free superhub.
