I upgraded to BT Infinity Option 2 (76MB/ps Download, 20 MB/ps Upload) last year. I then noticed after a while (a few weeks after installation because of the 10 day sync time) that my speeds would slowly decrease after a few days and this would require me to restart their "Home Hub 3.0" to bring my speeds back up again.
I was getting quite sick of this so I decided to by a Billion 8200N since it also has a built in modem (meaning I could dispose of their "Home Hub 3.0" and Huawei Modem). Unfortunately the Billion 8200N wasn't compatible with BT's ECI cabinets, so I had to use it with the Huawei Modem for it to work which solved the speed dropping problem (which means the Home Hub was to blame).
In the mean time I contacted Billion via their UK forums and two months later I was given a test firmware for the Billion 8200N that worked fine with BT's ECI cabinets. This meant I could now use the Billion without any of BT's hardware.
