I doubt it, with any mass produced device there will be issues, I guess to a degree the number of issues relates to the QA of the company concerned. (ie Netgear)

You can do all the testing you want but you can never quite replicate the real world in a test environment so there will always be issues identified once the switch is flipped.

Despite what is said on this site, as a population of the VM customer base the number of issues is probably quite low (in my opinion)

I don't disbelieve the issues some are having, it just seems to get blown out of proportion, in addition the super hub is designed for the lowest common denominator, as far as I can see some users who want advanced features are not catered for, you could argue that this was an oversight by VM but 'appears' to be being addressed by modem only mode.

You could also argue VM thought that they didn't need to cater for these users because at the end of the day if you want to use the service you have to use their equipment, only VM know which is the case.
