The SH is what it is, is purely and simply because that is what VM asked for. There are those who have already SSH'ed into it and found many parts of the GUI disabled etc.( they still exist in the firmware/software, just turned off.).
VM got what they asked for!

I know VM got what they asked for - they asked for a Hub from Netgear. Why do people keep on thinking I'm saying stuff I'm not?
What I was trying to point out, is that Netgear Gateways don't seem to have a pure bridge mode. As the two PDFs seem to indicate, they have 'Disable NAT' instead which puts them into a 'classic router' mode.
From how I understand this to work, if Virgin just enabled this, it would still leave the public IP on the SuperHub, and then people would have to start messing around with static IP addressess on the LAN side. Which isn't exactly a user friendly option
However, what I thought everyone wanted (and as far as I understand it what Virgin are going to deliver), was the public IP to be on whatever equipment was connected to the SuperHub, be it your own router or whatever else. In effect making it act like a standlone modem.
Based on the PDFs, current Netgear gateways (be it ADSL or Cable) can't do this
