will docsis1 configs be made for the superhub if bottom tier customers are getting it, if not will all new customers on the superhub on the bottom tier be put on docsis3.

If you are on a 10Mb or 20Mb tier and you are given a Superhub it automatically tunes to the relevant Cisco 10/12 or Motorola CMTS they do not tune to the VXR7200 CMTS's which now seem to be getting replaced as we see fewer of them.

How would the config file know where to go without an engineer pointing the way?

You speed can be changed by Customer Services simply by putting the correct code on your account and sending a provisioning signal to your modem, takes literally seconds and a reboot.

Correction. Cars never had stone wheels, not even the Lada.

The same as when they posted Superhubs out for the 20 > 30Mbps upgrade perhbaps.
Via the phone activation, they already have the MAC on file

Bad news,
I've had the superhub and it's rubbish. Wireless performance/signal and reliability is horrible compared to the standard VMDG280 kit.

Cue a lot more complaints about it.
A lot more effort + £££ has to go on the internals if VM ever release a premium SuperDooperHub in the future rather than the design.

The superhub is fine and works well..if you need/want better wireless performance then put it in modem only mode and use your own router :p:
