Hi everyone, newbie here.
please could someone advise which broadband router is provided on the Essentials 77mbs package.
Just looking at registering, but wanted to check which router is currently offered.
Thank you all in advance
Solved! Go to best answer.

Hi, 1st off the essentials package is for ppl who are on certain benefits.
The router you will receive will be the thg3000, as I've just received this model today.

Yes sure but it will be in a couple of weeks tho.

Hmm, Vodafone (unlike BT) doesn't tend to play that game! So I would imagine once they start shipping the Power Hub it'll be the new standard device. Expect it to be competent, but not earth-shattering!
*Yes BT ships the refurbed Smart Hub 1 to new customers on basic FTTC plans.

This link says the new power hub will be issued from now on:

However, they must still have stocks of the THG3000, so maybe using those for the Essentials contracts may make sense.
