Re: Vmng300
 

we established the other day it only needs a firmware update, but there is no-one there to do the updates, as its not a supported piece of kit, a waste of space, all the money they are investing in the new kit that people dont want

Re: Vmng300
 

Which network the CPE is on has got nothing to do with what model it is

The 250/255/256 can run on the overlay network if required for 20Mbit, and the SuperHub will run on the legacy network if supplied to someone with 2 or 10Mbit

All DOCSIS 3 is is channel bonding, not which network it is.

Re: Vmng300
 

so they could have kept a good piece of kit and done one fireware update to make it 100/200mbit compatible! But instead they impose something new and rubbish on us which needs multiple fireware updates to get it to work :banghead:

Hey, it was only a spanner in the works in an attempt to get Nopanic or Ben to bite!

It's no where near Masque's remit as he is just support.

Re: Vmng300
 

Some people don't want.

At this point, I can see this thread is going nowhere very slowly.

Re: Vmng300
 

Yes General. A firmware upgrade is all thats necessary and what was planned for.(when originally released).

I note although Ben answered craig he has neither confirmed (nor denied) my earlier post!

Is a firmware update all that is needed or not???????????????????????????????????????????

Re: Vmng300
 

Personally I this point, I don't see what good it will do.

Even if the VMNG300 could do 1000Mbit, Virgin have taken the decision to stop supplying it.

We get you don't like the SuperHub, but endless posts saying so isn't going to change things

If that's all this thread is going to be 'what if Virgin did X' then I might as well unsubscribe as it's pointless

How do you know what is necessary? Do you work for Ambit or VM have proof of what you say? Or is it speculation and guesswork on your part?

I would point out that at this stage Ubee Interactive (who are what Ambit now are) only offer a 3 channel modem. They have no 8 channel product http://www.ubeeinteractive.com/index.php/productsae

Re: Vmng300
 

Oh Ben, I merely state for discussion as I think itis healthy.

I do not condone those who seem to continually have a go at staff.

I am no longer a VM custromer but am sure I saw somewhere that the trusty VMNG300 would operate on 8 downstram channels with a firmware upgrade no matter what the company wants

I have no problem with anyone saying that the superhub is the way forward for VM as that is a corperate decision. I do have a problem with some staff saying the VMNG300 can't perform when it quite clearly can until such time as VM increase their channel bonding!

It can and will!!!

You appear to be contradicting yourself.....

Re: Vmng300
 

And the circular argument starts once again

Re: Vmng300
 

ive plugged in my vmng300 back in now since if a script does lose me a mac I dont want it to dump the vmng300 one because it sees the superhub one in use. Also somewhat annoyed nothing happened on the beta firmware so I will likely deliberatly wait until all superhub beta testers get it to try it or wait for release to try it.

Re: Vmng300
 

what you have stated is of little consequence as the VMNG300 is no longer supplied by Virginmedia and nor will it be making a return as the hub ans Superhub are the way forward, so no money will ever be spent on something that is no longer in the supply chain as it would be a waste of money.

Also we have no way of knowing if what you say may have even been possible and nor will we ever find out.

If you quote someone and make their text bold, does that mean you are making a mod decision using their post :D

Re: Vmng300
 

It just means you are highlighting part of the post :p:
