The guy I spoke to when he swapped out my dodgey old modem (forget which model but not an all in one and still quite new looking fancy black thing), said to me "yeah we're using these now" and pointed and showed me the new super hub. He was a nice guy actually. Should have got his name. I got the impression they were generally using them where possible for new customers and any modem swaps.

A few people have said about disabling the firewall. I assume by this you mean unchecking the "Firewall Features" under the services menu option under advanced settings? I am getting constantly good speed and pings, and my ping test shows a line score of B+. I generally get the impression that a hardware firewall built into a router is a good thing to have so have kept it turned on. Are you guys not opening yourself up a bit running without it or does it not help much with extra security?
