Question Netgear routers for BT customers????

Hi guys.
I have bt broadband and a netgear wireless router. DG834PN to be exact. Now recently I have seen in some adverts that there is something tailered for bt customers? I have the currys advert in front of me now. It says:
"Cable broadband wireless networking kit. Available for bt customers £59.99."
Now the standard price for this item is £49.99, so why do you have to pay £10 more if you are a bt customer? Whats the difference?
I'm basically trying to work out if the one I have is a BT version if you get what I mean.

Thanks for any help
Steve

I have no idea... maybe it comes with a setup guide as defined by BT ?

Shouldnt make any difference really... Router dont tend to have many easily accessable options... maybe the BT ones have the advance setting set to something more ... er... well based on BT ****ter

Are the cable broadband ones just wireless and a router and need a separate cable modem, whereas the BT ones are wireless, router, and a ADSL modem all in one?

if it's a kit I bet there's a wireless dongle for a pc in it to, £49 for the router, £59 for the kit, router and dongle.
edit to say it's a cable kit, ie not BT but is also available for bt lines
