Which to use THG3000 or THG3000g

[sac8165]

I have been with Vodafone for home broadband for years.  They originally gave me a THG3000g router and my landline telephone just plugged in to the wall as normal.
I have just upgraded with Vodafone home broadband and they now only provide landline telephone access through the router.  They sent out a new router, a THG3000 (not a g version).

I haven't swapped over the routers as the THG3000g still provides connection to Vodafone broadband servers and I don't use the landline anyway.

As far as I view it the THG3000g is the superior router.  Am I wrong?

To the best of my knowledge, the g version has a GFast capable modem. Unless you are on a GFast line it should make no difference.

Why not give the new one a go, and let us know if you notice any difference.

If you did want to use the VoIP telephone line you may find it will only be enabled on the new router. (you can tell if it is enabled as the PHONE led will be illuminated)

Is there any risk that Vodafone will provision the new router and make the older one redundant?

It's a possibility, but I doubt the old one will stop working on the broadband, but that was my thinking when I suggested the VoIP may only work on the new router.
