They have a wide range of customer types so they really do need to cater to those who don't have a clue about networking or who don't want to spend £50 on another piece of kit. The hub does this, its a good entry level way of getting a household online and will support future speeds up to 400meg.
Eventually when the new firmware is released it will be possible to use it as just a cable modem.
