BT Total Broadband

Just received an email saying that I can upgrade to wireless broadband for the same price I pay currently, and I get a Wireless BT Home Hub for just £30 when I sign up online.
Does this sound like a good deal, or will I be better off buying a separate wireless modem and do it myself?

    It will probably mean a 12 month extension to your contract. Get a hub yourself then go to someone other than BT for your broadband as you will be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

    What I did when I saw all the sweeteners that new BT Broadband customers were getting I was pretty hacked off so rang them to cancel my option 2 subscription ..I was transfered to another department and negotiated a discounted wireless router a reduction in my monthly payments and some how an upgrade to option 3..I ...had to take out a new 12 month contract though..secretely I was glad that I didn't have to cancel as I can't fault the service
