Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

No idea, though I suspect the people going out of their way to deny that there are problems or whose sole contribution is to repeat that their hub is fine ad infinitum are probably adding fuel.

Silly thread to begin with to be honest, just got sillier.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Both sides are doing the same thing.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

the port lights what does orange and green mean, something to do with speed?

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Yes. On the ports green is gigabit orange is 100Mbit (or as I found a dodgy cable and a gigabit device). There is a page on the VM site somewhere with more details.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Green is gigabit afaik; because thats what colour the light went when i just tried my macbook with the ethernet cable

All you do is try to deride people but then again what can we expect from someone who thinks because they have Cisco certification they have any knowledge of the Virginmedia network and equipment.

I think that you have the not been certified and need the coat with the long sleeves to prove it.

I think from now on I will have you on ignore as you have proved your self to be a brick and will always a brick in my eyes, especially one who makes petty jibes about dead parents.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Typically I don't try to deride people, I merely try to sort fact from speculation, which I believe you'll find is an important skill when looking to gain knowledge. Sometimes I deride you, but that's only when you're out of line as you are again here.

It's not like VM are running their network in some unique way that defies regular explanation, from what I know it's fairly common and not exactly hard to make sense of for someone modestly qualified.

Plus, I was more than comfortable having a 10-15 minute conversation with the tech who dropped by today, who remarked that most people would have no idea what he was talking about when he went into specifics about the way junction boxes are rigged, uBRs are set etc.

So you're calling me a liar and possibly a mental patient, then moaning about a subtle, light-hearted "your momma" joke I made in another thread, which you missed and I had to explain to you anyway? This proves a) you have little to no sense of humour b) you're coming back with a disproportionately mean response and worst of all c) you are a massive hypocrite.

I think what it comes down to is you can't win a fair battle of wits so resort to veiled, profanity filter dodging name calling (against the rules, isn't it?) in an attempt to make up some ground.

What you've actually done is made yourself look short-tempered and vindictive and ruined any credibility you might have had in this thread, and possibly elsewhere I suppose. You can continue to attempt to browbeat me and fail, or you can quit while you're ahead and attempt to regain some composure and dignity.

One of the things I do is write, Masque, you should realise this by now. I can write strong rebuttals to anything you say in a snap of the fingers, it really isn't difficult for me. I'd rather you weren't impolite to me and others so I didn't have to, but hey, if the opportunity is there to practice I always take it, time permitting.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

You are joking I take it that you are not impolite, try proof reading first before posting.

Oh and and jokes about dead parents are also in rather poor taste to say the least or have you forgotten that already which would come as no surprise.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

Both sides dont do the same, on one hand we know the hub works fine for some and for others it doesnt.

Although some members remain blinded by the truth and are intent on winding people up...

Make no mistake VM have admitted to the problems, who cares to what extent, there are issues affecting users so lets not pretend there arent and try to be a bit more helpful.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

This thread has deffo outlived it's usefulness. Darkm has summed it up well and both points of view have been fully aired.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

LOL sorry for staring a flame-war

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

As a person who has said nothing it is only because on the second day of having the super hub I found out how to use DMZ and have used it with the Apple Airport Extreme ever since for the Wi-fi devices. Otherwise the lack of range and cutting off after about 1 hour was unacceptable. wired use was fine to the Mac.
To make DMZ work well you loose some of the functions of the Airport Extreme but that is better than no service.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

But switching to DMZ mode opens up all your ports doesn't it? Which will leave your network vulnerable to attack.

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
 

The other router looks after that - it would be the same with a modem.
