I take by that rather silly comment that you have very little idea about what you are talking about, the are well over half a million Superhubs in use throughout the country and no manufacturer anywhere in the world would ever be so naive as to state none of their devices will ever develop a fault or even have a fault when delivered.

Even the older standard modems develop faults or were sometimes faulty upon delivery or install and the same can be said for the different makes and models of routers we supplied.

So do please justify that rather silly statement above because you have shot yourself in the foot by posting it.:rolleyes:

Initially my Superhub took 6/7 hours to activate but since then it has been rock solid, we get them in exactly the same way as anyone else via courier and I even had to pay the £30 upgrade fee.

Anyone thinking that they can use a few threads and posts on various forums as proof that every device is inherently faulty is living in cloud cuckoo land, this is a general comment and not specific to the person being quoted above.

the fact that you think i have little idea of what im talking about is irrelevant...what i was trying to get across is that whatever a company makes....be it a car...a tv...a kettle....that company should be striving for zero defects which in turn leads to zero complaints
is there zero complaints on here...or on virgins own forum....about that blooming shub??? hmmmm dont think so :rolleyes:

If it was as bad as the forums say it would have been replaced and a new device/s put in its place.

That's gollox, Masque. You seem to forget the 12 months or so of woe while VM struggled to get a reasonable firmware out of Netgear or whoever wrote the software. Throughout this period, a vanilla gateway could have been put in its place - but no, VM are so up themselves that people were made to suffer for a year. Apaert from which it's a self defeating design without external antennae.

And your darling company still advertised it as "unbeatable wireless".

Why don't you acknowledge these points instead of keeping your head in the sand. It's no credit to VM if the SH eventually comes right after more than a year; and it's got some way to go with the current wireless and instability issues.

The key fault with VM's SH policy was not specifying Modem Mode in the first place. How up themselves (and follish) was that?

Remember posting on this forum will not result in any changes by Virgin Media as it appears to also be the case on the community forum as they must see different results to people posting about issues.

That's an easy one to answer. The SH is default kit across all tiers because VM say so. It can't be because it's so wonderful because it isn't as the history of firmware releases has shown and as illustrated by the wireless and reset issues still being experienced and reported on the forums.

And yes, VM are so up themselves that nothing the users say moves them to change.

What I can accept is that the SH is evolving in the right direction (maybe next firmware release) into a reasonable get-you-going gateway. It should be advertised as such and not be claimed to have "unbeatable wireless" and other ridiculous superlatives for a such highly slugged gateway.

I have never said it has unbeatable wireless only that my devices always defaulted to it.
