Why they never is a complete mystery to me, I'm no expert but even I could see an issue if a customer has spent some time and money setting up there tomato router only to have a big lump of netgear crap forced upon them!

I've still got my VMNG300 but am using the superhub. It stops connecting to the Internet every 2 weeks or so and wireless is dodgy but on the whole it's ok I suppose

If I wanted to I could get the VMNG300 re-activated and use my gigabit router but I reckon the superhub has the better chipset and once bridge mode is available I'll try that with my router

Thats exactly why i dont want the super hub, perfectly happy with my router running Tomato and have been for years.

Everything works perfectly: bandwidth monitoring, static dhcp, access restrictions, ssh server, multiple 360's get an open connection to Xbox Live.

Our home network has been perfect for years, i dont want to ruin it by having a modem / router i can do nothing with.

I'm happy to hear we will not be forced to have the superhub anyway :D

You can't be forced to do anything .. you might have to fight to keep the 300 though ..
