Of course this precludes the possibilities of a new hub being released and/or a reissue of the VMNG300, neither on the horizon but completely possible if the higher ups decided that was the best way to go.

Kinda like the way there is a legacy network for the Ambit 250/255/256 and an overlay for the hub/superhub/VMNG300. Shouldn't be too hard for VM to run different configs in tandem since they already do it, I agree. I know far less about it than you but it makes perfect sense.

I guess, but in cases where the customer already has a VMNG300 and is perfectly happy with it, or has had a run of faulty superhubs, then it seems using the modem-only option is the best solution rather than have a customer put up with sub-standard service. Seems like these kinds of exceptional circumstances are acceptable times to compromise, giving VM more time to work out the numerous bugs with their underwhelming flagship CPE.

An admission that it is more your opinion than VM policy. Good. Nice to know. That can be retroactively applied to all the other times you've downplayed the importance of that particular modem, I think.

Absolutely. Something the VMNG300 is more than capable of doing. Seeing how well it handles 30Mbps makes me eager to bump it up to 100Mbps when the time comes, rather than when I had the superhub on 20Mb and it would fall apart at the first sign of serious networking.

...and we're back on topic.
