hey there, i am getting the bt home hub (the white thing you mentioned) in addition to my new net connection, so its basicaly what youve got but not in a package. I havent got it yet, but by looking and reading a lot i would say no, not yet, there isnt anything that can replace the homehub, its bespoke to BT's packages and services, after its released for a long while companies such as linksys and netgear will start to compete and bring out alternatives.
