  1. Just check you don’t end up with 12 bills

    And isn’t the delivery driver meant to take a picture of you not the other way round?

  2. Sounds like a win, 12x faster Internet connection 

  3. It’s easier for the customers to keep their own spares for when it inevitably breaks or gets bricked by a firmware update

  4. This happened to me (not 12 but 3) they tried to charge me for not returning them all a year later.

  5. They will ask you to return them to avoid a fine and they will mysteriously never arrive at their destination (happened to me twice with BT Business).

  6. I think you’ve got this the wrong way round, the postie is meant to take a photo of you with the parcels!

  7. Look on the bright side, you’ll be able to connect to your WiFi from 3 miles away.

  8. I think I’ve seen this video before. He’s about to ask if you need a *girthier* fibre optic connection

  9. Keep them for a few months and see if BT want them back. If you hear nothing drop them an email saying you will need to dispose of them if they don’t get in touch. Then if they don’t get in touch sell them down the line

  10. This happened to me, although it was with Virgin, and was for TV boxes not routers.

    They sent me 8 additional TV boxes despite me only having one plus the smaller spare room one.

    I contacted them, they arranged a courier who didn’t show, then constantly hounded me with letters about late payments, added hundreds to my bill.

    I ended up going to the ombudsman and they were made to pay me £525, refund the extra they added to the bill, and also pay interest on the amount I paid (was only like a fiver but still).

  11. I heard a story from one of my former managers: someone in the faults team got sacked once for sending out 40 hubs to an angry customer.

  12. I’m still waiting on fucking one from plusnet. They ordered one for me 2 weeks ago, never came so I called them, they sent another, and it’s also still in processing

  13. I guess you could configure them all to work if you put them on different subnets, 12 hops just to get outside your house.

  14. They were probably just very excited that someone signed up for BT Internet 

  15. They’ll also charge you £50 a pop if you don’t return them!

  16. I wonder how much you can flog 11 unused routers for?

    Just asking questions…

  17. You can make all of them slave routers and have 100% coverage around your house

  18. Ah so that’s how gigabit internet works. It’s just 12 normal phone lines.
