It was a mistake and should never have been bought especially as they trialled off the shelf kit from Motorola and Cisco without any issues but decided to go with the one with the poor antenna, a committee built device voted as being the best option.

They should have just stuck with supplying modems and let the customer supply their own wireless but decided to copy BT.

Fine, but what does this have to do with your claim that it's unlikely there'll be upcoming firmware updates to enable upstream bonding?

I never mentioned upstream bonding at all.

*Sigh*

No but you poured cold water on the idea of the VMNG 300 getting another firmware update as VM want to kill it apparently, this would include one to enable upstream bonding.

While they were there they could have sorted out 8 ds channels and then everything would be done and dusted

Does it stop it and the Superhub being a urine poor example of how to provide equipment to its customers, if not why are they now testing a third version.

Nothing to sigh about providing poor equipment is it.:rolleyes:

Ignition any news if the channel bonding is been done with new US channels or just existing ones?

Why not? Nothing wrong with continually looking to improve the kit that is supplied as part of the broadband service - and no that's not an invitation for yet another comment about the current SuperHub

The chip only supports 4 so its not going to get 4. At least that's what the hardware specsheets for that modem say. The original claim from VM years ago during the trials was probably make believe.

is Netgear making it and is it going to be another combi modem/router? I assume the vmng300 was version 1 of what you were referring to and the the shub was v2 (talking about isp branded cpe i assume)

He was talking about that there was going to be another version of this SuperHub model, but made by someone else

how awesome would it be if they came out with a v3, it kicked ass performance wise and there wasnt a single problem with it and we found out it was made by Cisco :)

I know it isnt going to happen but I suppose all we can do it hope that they have learnt from their mistakes and are getting something decent made which will be tested properly and have modem mode on initial release.
