It’s the most middle-ground design possible for this kind of thing – dark plastic, glowing lights. If you’ve seen BT’s other recent routers, you’ll know what to expect here. That said, it doesn't make getting a standalone mesh system a no-brainer over this, as our positive score indicates – the extreme ease of use, combined with overall quality and reliability, here mean a lot of people may want to choose it anyway. We're not keen on this kind of hardware as a service charge with no point at which you just own the devices, and here it feels actively cheap to take back something people have paid for in the previous 18 months. Complete Wi-Fi is a great price over 18 months, but over 36 (and the price now hitting £180) you could buy a separate mesh system for cheaper, and have it forever. This is, at least, a graceful option (you don't have to immediately change switch everything to a new network), but degrades the good value.
However, there's a big downside too: if you stop paying the £5 charge after 18 months, even if you stick with BT Plus, BT will take back any Wi-Fi Discs, leaving you with just the hub. And if that somehow doesn’t cover the theme park you apparently call a home, they’ll give you £20 back.
If you still have problem spots, they’ll just send you another Wi-Fi Disc. Here’s the extra nice bit, though – BT’s charge is based on the idea that this setup will get you perfect Wi-Fi everywhere at home. It comes in slightly cheaper than even the BT Whole Home Wi-Fi system, and easily half what other systems cost. When compared to prices of buying a mesh system, the price looks pretty good, with the bonus of being spread out over time. That’s added on top of your BT Plus contract price, and with most BT Plus contracts lasting 18 months, that makes it £90.īT won’t be offering this particular setup as a standalone purchase or anything like that – it’s only for BT Plus sign-ups (whether that’s new to BT or as an upgrade from another BT package). The price of the BT Complete Wi-Fi system is simple: £5 per month.
