Hybrid connect -

I have moved from BT Halo + to EE. I now have to return the Hybrid Connect hub or pay £75 to keep it. Has anyone kept theirs? Does it still work if you do? My speed is not as good but only dropped a bit and I get some buffering on YouTube if that makes a difference.

Hi @Jaycee33

You can buy them on eBay for £1-£20 so why pay £75!

I think it may need to be paired and cannot be used on its own. @XRaySpeX probably confirm.

Thanks

It’s already paired as I haven’t had to change any equipment - just have to send this back as I’ve taken a new contract (moved to EE from BT). Just wanted to know if it’s worth keeping so thank you for the info.

Wow. Just looked on eBay. How can EE/BT charge £75 when a new one is that price. -Sorted mines going back. Thank you

Buying them will be an absolute waste of money, will not work unless part of your package & paying for it
