presumably the 'hub' approach was intended to match/compete with the BT adsl type product - in my opinion it is alienating cable customers, rather than drawing them in?

I just spent a lot of money on a router - unless VM can supply me a modem to complement, rather than replace my purchase I won't be interested in any 'upgrades' ?

In my opinion Virgin Media should be focusing on providing their customers with modems that will be capable of connecting to all current & future iterations of the available standards - but routers, dongles, switches, hubs - whatever - are another dimension that they shouldn't get involved with?
