What I took from the article was they had complete control over the SH so could do whatever they wanted with it. So from that I assumed that anything could be copied form one SH and put on another, including certificates which I thought virgin used to stop cloning, part of BPI+ or something. That would then make the SH on ebay useful to the unscrupulous if it could then be used.

The Superhub is still a worthless piece of junk and anyone buying one from Ebay should be put in a rubber room, it is only any good when in Modem Mode and I get 27/28Mb wireless with my Edimax router and 7Mb using the Superhub.

The seller could have been given it, got it from a house clearance or many other alternative sources if they were not the original customer.

Indeed. Plenty of student flats around here with piles of old equipment from last years' tenants lying around in the cupboards, including but not limited to used Shrubs, DIR-615's, even the old Netgear WPN824's.

The system doesn't allow one part of it to be used, the other 3 parts work fine. And nowhere else will you find those 3 for less than a fiver. Take it apart and even the wireless card itself, which will work fine in any modern laptop, is worth more than the current bidding price on Ebay.

So the bottom line is that this seller gains some cash and someone could get a bargain or something that is useful to them. Bit different to how it was first portrayed.

Once again the CF Team has to remind people to debate this issues, and not resort to insulting other members.

Posts have been deleted, and the infraction system has regrettably seen an outing.
