I think your hub, no matter how you go, has to be approved by BT. Also, the home hub wireless router comes with the BT hub phone on which you can make cheap internet calls.

I'm totally blind and managed to set it up on my own recently but it isn't that easy to identify some of the buttons on the BT set up cd, luckily I had a demo of window eyes which helped in that respect but jaws did read the rest so got there in the end. 1. With the home hub you will recieve a filter which simply plugs into the phone socket you wish to use, then using the cable provided connect the hub to the filter . 2. then connect your phone to the filter, then connect the pc ethernet cable to both pc and the hub ( if you wish a wired connection) and follow the prompts on the set up cd, I'm assuming BT have switched on the broad band on your line? You will need to know such info as your password, e mail address etc. I know it sounds complicated but it was straightforward enough, however for peace of mind and easyness and you can afford it then the BT engineer is not a bad idea. good luck!
