What I find crazy about this whole thing is the lack of choice, I bought a superb router which I bought in the knowledge it could handle 200mbit with ease (and support torrenting with many open connections and peers), I made an investment in some hardware that virgin have decided I don't need (if i want faster than 50mbit).

If you are looking at the 100/10 service you are most likely a technical user and therefore would have specific network requirements that the superhub might interfere with. Why couldn't they have an option for a modem only service! I've never used the supplied routers that VM have given, and would rather keep it that way.

My VMNG300 has been rock solid for over a year! I've rebooted the modem 4 times in nearly 15 months! It seems that some heavy users and torrentists have had issues with the superhub.
