Of course it was a corporate decision to get the next modem from a different manufacturer as they wanted combined modem/routers from a known wireless manufacturer.
The VMNG300 was no longer required so they ran down existing stock and rolled out the Superhub which is here to stay as the VMNG300 is not suitable for the higher tiers above 50Mb which is why they cannot be used as per Pips experience.
The firmware will iron out any issues people are having.
Also Virginmedia tend not to run 2 different piece of kit on their tiers and any engineers replacing modems will now only fit hubs as they carry nothing else.
I expect that we will soon start sending out hubs instead of modems for replacements over the phone as well.
I would not hold your breath over any thoughts of a reprise of the VMNG300 as the will be no requirement for such a modem once the Superhub can be used as a modem.
