Watch out the early BEFSR41 V1 and V2's will be very cheap second hand at the moment

a) coz they are old (>4 years)

and

b) They can't handle ntl/telewest 10Mbps throughput!

For similar reasons you'll also be able to get older wireless-B routers cheap as users find that the old wireless standard can't handle more than 3Mbps of actual throughput.
