Setting up your Hub and BT Total Broadband
Use this section for more detail than Quick Start.
If you prefer, we can set it all up for you. For a small charge, a BT Home IT Support
engineer can visit and set up your broadband, talk, email and security – and give
you a brief introduction to the service.
