My superhub experience wasn't the best, constant disconnections and lock-ups. My first superhub was replaced within a couple of weeks and the second suffered the same issues - dropping the internet connection many times daily (I could hit double figures on a good day). It got to the point where I reset the router every morning as it would 'crash' every night.

I was in the firmware trial and that did seem to cure the ping issues but not the underlying stability issues. I accept that many users (probably the majority) have no problems at all, but for those of us that did it was a nightmare (and probably still is for the users experiencing the problems).

I finally had my second superhub replaced with a VMNG300 and apart from some power issues following an audit of the street cabinate have had no problems since. My superhubs are now 'in stock' with the other VM/TW hardware I've collected over the years.

There seems to be a 'duff batch' of superhubs out there, the same as the duff batch of Samsung V+ boxes (remember the 'stop' issue). I was unlucky to have two of the duffers, but would happily have the superhub again if I knew it would do the job it was designed to do.

In the meantime, who was it who mentioned they were using their two superhubs as bookends, maybe they can earn their keep after all....
