    switched today, received email saying "return the router or be charged £35" - WHAT? no other provider has ever said that (as the bag full of routers in the cupboard will attest). The sales pitch on their website says "All our products include the cost of your line rental and a wifi router at no extra cost", with buried in the T&Cs "we may ask you to return your router at the end of the agreement".
    I got the same email when I switched yesterday. Fortunately I still had the original box for the router, complete with Tracked 48 return label, and mine had a barcode. I walked to the PO and they took it without comment.
