Most of the routers/modems/hubs I've come across are just old kit VM have left behind after the user terminated their services and not bothered picking up. I believe VM are trying to be more consistent with retrieving old equipment now, but there's still at least one confirmed case on this forum already of them not bothering and just telling the user to keep/bin a Superhub that was no longer in use.
If VM say to a user "keep it, we don't want it back" I don't see the harm in someone giving it away or taking it apart.

I know, this is why I don't generally take apart equipment that's supplied for a service or covered under a warranty. But old throwaway equipment someone else is about to chuck in the bin is fair game far as I'm concered. Granted, there aren't a lot of superhubs in this state yet, but with all 20mb+ users getting one now it's only a matter of time.
