    What a silly policy- glad im not with Orange!.Most others will let the router etc be your property at the end of the contract.Best of luck for getting a cheapie replacement from ebay.

    To be fair would you want to keep it??

    But they do 'rent' it to you as part of your broadband agreement and when you leave randomly ask for it back, I have had 2 faulty ones (and still hae one of them) and the process of sending the bag to return them it very slow. In the case of the extra one I have it was replaced 6 months ago and just sat in the cupboard waiting for the bag to return it!
    These are my thoughts and no one else's, so like any public forum advice - check it out before entering into contracts or spending your hard earned cash!

    I don't know everything, however I do try to point people in the right direction but at the end of the day you can only ever help yourself!
