BT Smart Hub

If you’re a BT broadband customer, this is something of a bargain at £50 (discounted from its “full price” of £130). It lived up to BT’s bold speed and range claims, with fast and reliable performance even at distance. It’s free to new Infinity subscribers, too. £130; home. bt.com REVIEW Issue 264, p64
