As per title. Wondering if it's worth re-signing to get a new router.

Spoke to them a couple of hours ago. I'm a 2D gigabit customer currently with a 5yr old 7490 which is starting to play up. All they'd offer was a lower spec (I like my super fast AC wifi) 7530 or 7560 if I resigned. I asked about the 7590 and they said no.

I even said I knew people on GZ had received the 7590 but they wouldn't budge :D Maybe I'll call back a few times until I hit the right agent.

They gave me a 7530, its a pretty gutsy router from my experience so far with it. Looking at the AVM website there is now a Wifi 6 version of the 7530 so hopefully they will have these soon.

I got a 7590 when I re-signed up to 2degrees for a year, on 100Mbps plan.
