Re: Vmng300

Erm, the VMNG300 runs 100meg fine (and VM were touting it as able to handle 200meg when it was introduced). As for the modem itself, all the internals are off the shelf and are probably as common as muck and used in other still in production devices. The only parts unique to VM are the case and firmware. Both cheap things to replicate. But its unlikely, from a business standpoint, that they will order any more. Its a shame nobody has done a tear-down of both the VMNG300 and the Superhub to see just what spec kit they have inside them. Might settle some arguments about cheapness :p

I do hope modem mode will solve everyones problems. The product itself makes sense, its just that it was released far too early and is really harming Virgins reputation. I'll be willing to do some comparisons when it does come out as long as both my devices stay active on VM's systems.
