The BT Hub 4 will be rolled out to BT Broadband and BT Infinity packages over the coming months, starting from Friday May 10. From June, existing BT customers will be able to upgrade for free to the new hub when they take out a new contract or they can buy one at a special price of £35 including VAT from www.bt.com.

I can now confirm that from the 1st of June 2013 customers who will recontract will get a free homehub 4. 

Thank you.

Edit:

Out of Contract cost: Free

Renewing Contract cost: £35

Reminder: Remember to recontract before 1st August for free BT Sports 1 & 2 and ESPN.

You can only recontract if you are out of contract though as I tried the other day and was told I could only do it for £35 as I was still in contract, however that £35 was spread over my phone bill so not too bad.

The homehub 4 is worth every penny of the £35 though just for the 5ghz band, you don't get many N600 routers that cheap so go for it.

Also my infinity one came with spare red and yellow Ethernet cables as well which are always handy.

Have to agree that the HH4 does appear to be a better product than the HH3. In my property the siginal cetainly appears to be stronger and reaching a little further than th HH3

Shame BT did not include the provision of AC with the router, I guess that will be for teh HH5 🙂

yes, the HH4 does have a lot better wireless than most other routers out there - as for AC no point in adding it yet - no many devices support it and they reckon it's could be 2015 before mainstream

Plus have you seen the cost of current AC routers they are nearly £200, there is no way BT would add such an advanced standard to a consumer router just yet, maybe in 2015 as the poster above said.

Studey I heard you got the hh4 early, you said £35 was spread over the cost of your bill, how much more did you have to pay.

Sorry if I asked you again, I can't find the other thread!

[Stuey3d]

I got it for £35 as advertised but my phonebill is produced every 3 months so its been spread over 3 months. Now my direct debit has gone up by around £15 a month but that will leave me around £10 in credit which i can leave on the account or claim back later.

Its too bad the HH4 dosen't follow the HH3 pull up tab. I was hoping to just transfer the tab over. Just to clarify. Is there anything at the back of the HH4 tab.

[Deathtrap3000]

The hub 4 has a pull up card instead. It has the same information as the tab in the hub3.

the hh4 seems to have a sort of credit card sized card on the back that pulls out with all the same info on it
