      Hi. I'm a BT employee. I would suggest you to call on 0800 800 150 and speak with the value team. Ask them if you can complete wifi. But the pricing has not been clear here. Basically it'll be 10 pounds extra. So for example if you pay 29.99 being in a contract with us, then complete wifi will cost 39.99 a month.

But since they released Halo 2 my internet dips at times now causing the dreaded buffering ring going around and round, so i was reading some where that they have the capability to be able to affect your internet to thinking one would need a better package is this true i am not sure. But if like you the new one resolves your issue that's awesome, bad to think the UK has one of the worst internet speeds in the world and the further you go up Scotland the worse it gets.

  • @PeterMossUkulele
    @PeterMossUkulele ปีที่แล้ว

    For the distribution of wi-fi BT’s mesh system works a treat. I have 3 disks. However, what is happening is if 3 people use the internet that 40mbps leaving the router is divided by 3. That kind of makes sense. However, the way it is advertised it appears these distribution disks are boosters and this is clearly not the case. However if 1 person wants to get wi-fi in different parts of the house it is perfect. Better still would be to get an electrician to put Ethernet sockets throughout your house directly connected to your router.

    Couple of questions if anyone has the answer.
    Once I connect it to the hub with an ethernet cable to the disc, once I move the disc it doesn't have to be plugged in to the ethernet still does it?
    Which leads me onto my next question, once you have moved the disc into position, does it have the be on the same electrical circuit as the router? As I know with my powerline connectors it has to be on the same circuit!
    Thanks guys

    I've just received my BT disc to improve my wifi connection as I was getting too much 'page loading' and stopping & stuttering, even though my laptop is in the same room as my hub2. I have connected the disc to my hub as per instructions, and it appears to be the same as in your video, but no light comes on the disc. Are all hdmi cables the same? I don't remember receiving one with my hub, but i already had one that I used to connect my old desktop to the internet. Could this be the cause of the problem?
    ETA: Found what I think might be the original cable, plugged it in and the light has come on! So we shall see if there's any improvement. I have noticed that these discs sell for £110 online, so are BT charging me this within my monthly payments?

    Hey all, I upgraded to BT Halo 2 about 8 months ago and was sent the new Smart Hub 2 to replace my BT Home Hub 3. My predicament is this. The BT Home Hub 3, whilst pretty old now, is compact, small and sits very discretely on my home office desk. The new Smart Hub 2 is bigger and hence I've been reluctant to use it because I feel it will look too big and cumbersome on my desk. The irony in this is that I've upgraded to Halo 2 but, because I'm still using the old Home Hub 3, I don't think I'm getting any of the benefits of the faster service, provided by Halo 2. Am I right by this everyone? Has anyone else upgraded from Home Hub 3 to the Smart Hub 2 and how have you found the size of the new router? Should I just take the plunge and get the new Smart Hub setup?
    Appreciate advice and comments here. Thanks all.

      I nearly gave up tbh cos every time I called them about the problems I had with the wifi they couldnt fix it because they only guarantee the service upto the main router. This package guarantees my wifi or I can leave without a cancellation fee and also claim from them. Not had a problem thus far.

    They will also send you extra discs if you still have Wi-Fi black spots and if you go into the smart hub settings online you can limit certain devices to the amount of time they can be online or even turn them off all together good for those of us that have kids and dont want to turn the whole wifi off when they shouldn't be on it lol

    A dramatic improvement. I used to get 200MB at the Hub 2 router but after 2m it dropped off a lot. Mostly down to 30 MB.
    A new contract reduced the phone to PAYG (who uses a landline these days). Downgraded the speed to 100MB but added complete WI Wi.
    Now a fantastic 130 MB everywhere. Guaranteed 100MB.
    The disc is cheap and nasty, the legs dropped off! Only one small circuit board. Horrid bulky black transformer plug. But it really works.
    The app is great. Set up is a doddle.

  • @LizzieBeezie

    BT just offered to send me this new hub for free supposedly as they saw that my old router was faulty and was the problem of my connection dropping a lot during a day. I do hope it corrects the problem.

I was offered the new equipment for an extra £7.00 per month and after speaking to someone got it down to £1.00 extra. 👍

    Both of these are entirely redundant phrases that I hear used repeatedly by some reviewers. If you think about it, every sentence can be improved by removing these three words. Without them, the sentence still makes sense and gets to the point faster.

    BT has been charging my elderly parents £60 a month for years for a max download speed of 17megabits / 2.1MB/s and rarely used land line, they never bothered to inform them there is a new hub or offer any upgrades, we just got on to them and they dropped the price £37.99 also including these disks. still seams high

    • @sylus1010
      @sylus1010 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Same, I have 2 disks and on average I get anywhere from 10-20 megabits, internet is slow. This is after we had just a hub and the previous hub had much faster speeds. BT charges you more for slower speeds, the thing is that they are the only provider in my area that we can get. BT often fails to inform us when there are new products etc. If you call them about it your internet will improve for about 3-5 days then it goes crap again I’ve read multiple reviews/studies and it seems that they throttle you so that they can get the maximum amount of money out of their customers.

The advisor was great I'm not usually 1 for joining in these discussions but I cant say anything bad about this package at all.
