See I'm not so sure on that. Personally I think that there is concentration of issues that happens with the SuperHub that doesn't with the previously issued routers.

If you type in DIR-615 into Google, then you are likely to hit other sites and information about an issue you may have i.e. the overall userbase to resolve queries is global

However type in SuperHub or VMDG480 and you are only going to hit a Virgin related site (here/Digital Spy/Community Forums etc), so of course you are going to see 'more' complaints than you would do otherwise

This may not always remain true, and could change in the future. But at this point in time the 50mb modem is not at all limited as far as how VM want to deliver 100mb is concerned. The Superhub does indeed have more bonding capability (8 DS) but this is unused.
I'm well aware of how the service is delivered now. The reason the SuperHub is issued is so that Virgin have the ability to alter how it is delivered in the future without the hassle (and cost) of writing to some customers to swap equipment at a later stage (as they've had to do for the upstream increase).
