This is a bargain! The airport extreme alone is £145 on apple refurbished. So for £4 you are getting a 2tb back up hard drive! £249 new from apple, £215 on amazon
I've ordered one mainly for the router as sky's wifi performance is beyond a joke.

Automatic wireless backup.
AirPort Time Capsule includes a 2TB or 3TB hard drive that works with Time Machine in OS X to create the perfect no-hassle backup solution. There are no cables, and you can back up all the Mac computers in your home to a central location — automatically, wirelessly, and in the background.
Ultra-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi.
With 802.11ac technology and a powerful beamforming antenna array, AirPort Time Capsule gives you up to 3x faster Wi-Fi and a stronger, clearer signal. And because it transmits at both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies at the same time, your wireless devices will automatically connect to the best available band for the fastest performance possible.
Designed with performance in mind.
With the antennas at the top of the elevated design, AirPort Time Capsule now has a higher platform for dispersing the signal. We also increased the number of antennas. There are now six of them — three for the 2.4GHz band and three for the 5GHz band. Together with 802.11ac technology, they let you connect faster, farther, and with more power than ever before.

You're welcome. Thought it worth pointing out that a refurb HD, Apple or otherwise, may be a false economy for those with precious data, photos etc.

So is this a router and a wireless hard drive in one? I'm with BT so would I need a modem alongside this, like the openreach one?

Yeah you need a modem. I will turn wifi off on the sky router and use the sky unit as the modem

I have turned my home hub wifi off in the settings and use the time capsule as the router by hardwiring to the home hub. Much better signal throughout the home even though I tried multiple channels on the home hub. Bonus of auto backing up your MacBook or Imac too with zero effort. Excellent device if you can stomach the cost

Great deal looked at these for a long time, and I have no problems with the apple refurbished stuff as I've bought from there a few times with no problems.

Love mine!!! I am also with BT and I use it as a router as it has amazing reach and reliability. Just plug and play, hardwired straight into homehub.
