I have an HG612 3B already unlocked which is in good order going spare that I intend to sell on behalf of a charity I volunteer for: Hope Nature Centre (just started looking after their IT). It was sitting in a cupboard unused having been replaced by a Draytek soon after they got FTTC. I brought it home, unlocked it with the latest HW and used it myself on my line for a fortnight to check it was good.Would you like to make an offer?
i'm needing to pick up a huawei modem.is there anything i should be looking for (or avoiding)?
What's the going rate?
I highly recommend a Zyxel VMG1312-B10A set up in bridge (modem only) mode.It has a much newer Broadcom chipset, the BCM63168.It will sync higher than the HG612, with generally lower errors.
I got mine for around £40 new delivered.I sourced 1 new about 3 weeks ago for a relative for £44.99.They no longer make that model so it will likely become harder to source and probably more expensive.
£40 new?i've not seen any for that price.broadbandbuyer lists them at £110
