Incorrect, both modems can handle over 100mbps upload fine. The Superhub has 8 downstream channels, not upstream. Both modems have the same upstream capability - only 4 channels. In either case the 10mbps upload service only uses 1 upstream right now anyway.

If a customers has 50Mb and a VMNG can customer care just update the account, or is there a restriction now to send a Superhub ?

I'll have to test it ..

I can understand VM wanting only the Superhub to be allowed, but the as said the VNMG is a good piece of kit ..

I would ask Ben about that scenario to be honest.

I knew the numbers 4 & 8 had something to do with it, as for the superhub being forced on everyone, maybe the it has mindcontrol built in so VM can take over the UK? or maybe its easier to do a modem update if averyone has a superhub?

Hmmm. The way things stand as of now, I'd much rather have a reliable 50Mb service with the VMNG300 and seperate router than a shaky 100Mb service with the Super Hub.

I think it might have come up before, but surely the VMNG300 will work for the new 30Mb tier as it already handles the 50Mb one just fine?

It doesn't really help though, as it's only going out to new customers. All existing customers on 512k, 2mb, 10mb, 20mb, 50mb, etc. will all have different modems, and they all need to be maintained. I still see 8 year old SA modems the size of my monitor in active service in some people's homes.
