In the UK, you get the newest version when you sign up, or you can request the latest version for free if you have been with them for a few years. They even include wi-fi extenders for free, to place around your house in order to ensure complete coverage.

I know that isn't of any use to you, but it just surprised me that if you are paying for internet, you need to pay again for the router to make it work.
You bought the car but the company that sold it to you still expect you to pay for your own gas.

Most ISPs in the UK give out junk routers. The BT homehub range have always been very decent when I've tried it on my ISP. Generally though, I just buy Asus routers.
