Design
There have been five different versions of the BT Home Hub so far:
- Version 0.5 — grey (no Hub Phone was available, not technically Home Hub but rather BT Fusion Hub)
- Version 1.0 — white or black (matching Hub Phone was available)
- Version 1.5 — white or black (matching Hub Phone was available)
- Version 2.0 — black (matching black Hub Phone is available)
- Version 3.0 — black (DECT Phones are not compatible) released on 29 January 2011.
There were two different manufacturers of the Version 2 hub; Thomson make the 2A (Type A hub) and Gigaset (now Sagem Communications, Sagem having acquired the Gigaset broadband business in July 9) makes the 2B (Type B hub). Whilst the looks and functionality appear to be identical, the Type 2A has been plagued with problems relating to poorly tested Firmware upgrades which among other problems cause the Hub 2A to restart when uploading files using the wireless connection.
The Home Hub 3.0: DECT phones are no longer supported. After 29 January 2011, BT Broadband Talk was no longer provided as part of BT's broadband packages.
