They will probably never reactivate the VMNG300 as they want us on Superhubs and that is the same for the collection of modems you have they all need taking to the tip.

You dont need any security on the superhubs wireless network.























It only has a 2 foot range :devsmoke:

Our engineers do not deal with wifi issues the security is down to you and you sound like you have a good password.

Doesn't it get very boring switching your packages all the time, or equipment?
I've never seen someone switch so many things in a short space of time!

Connection speed of 150.0Mbps :confused:
Edit: My bad, I realised that the speed quoted is the adapter speed and not the broadband!

Yeah de-fragmentation sounds terrible when it's in DOS.
