Even if they were all reliable though, they'd still suck for anyone who needs more than a quick plug'n'play networking solution. They're too basic, and as a result VM should still be stocking standard modems so customers can drop their own routers in if they like. It wouldn't be too difficult to modify the script to have two options, Regular (Super Hub) and Advanced (Modem Only).

Again if the SH had a bridge mode none of this would matter, but that fabled firmware update to do so sounds more like a placebo than something which will actually materialise. Obviously I'd love to be proved wrong on that one.
Is definitely in the works, as is Bridge Mode for the prior Hub via it's own F/W update.
