Check your box contents. Fit an ADSL lter to every phone socket that you use in your home.
Sockets could be used by telephones, faxes and digital TV boxes
(e.g. Sky
®
). These devices need to use a lter to prevent interference
with your broadband service.
Using the broadband cable (grey ends), connect your Hub to an
ADSL lter and then connect the power supply.
Wait for your Hub’s Broadband light to glow blue. This will take a
few minutes.
Insert the CD into your computer to continue set-up.

You can start setting up your BT Home Hub any time, but please bear in mind that

Your line needs time to establish its best speed. To make sure you receive the
fastest, most reliable service possible on your line, we’ll remotely test it for up to
ten days after your broadband is activated. This may occasionally interrupt your
service and cause your speed to vary. This is normal, and your speed will settle
down after ten days.
Please note: if you use an online speed checker to test your broadband speed
during these ten days, it may give you an inaccurate and misleading result.
If you have any problems, please see Help on page 21.
We hope you enjoy your service – have fun!
