I think it's less a case of designing in issues (seeing as the hardware is modified Netgear CG3xxx series in a VM logo case) and more a case of complete oversight, combined with rushing to get the product out. I'd rather have waited until March and had a much improved Super Hub with bridge mode already built in so I wouldn't have to moan, but obviously in terms of "New For 2011" business plays and reordering of the broadband tier system that doesn't work.
I do however believe VM when they say the Super Hub is their most successful product yet because most people have little to no idea about computer systems. Because it's simple. However, that does prove most people going for the fastest tiers which need the EuroDOCSIS 3 of the Super Hub actually get very little benefit because their internet use can be classed as "light". In my experience, the thing falls to pieces under heavy traffic whether that be LAN, WAN or both. Whereas other routers don't.

That works for the most part, but if the "one company" in question happens to be designing the kit in some way, the other company paying for the privilege would do well to listen. That's a general comment, but it applies to VM well enough.
