My remark was pretty clear. You lot are dead silent on the fact that VM are going to extraordinary lengths to have this wretched device performing even basic functions. And they're not there even yet.
Your heads are so deep in the sand that you cannot take this on board and, of course, you can't back down now. Ten people complaining. Jeez!

Of course, when in doubt, resort to insults - effective debating technique.
I (and others on the forum) do not deny there are problems - just not the wide-spread endemic problems that you, and others, appear to be positing. I (and I am not a VM employee) and at least 15 of my neighbours have had the new hub installed since February,and at work I know at least another 10 who have also had the hub installed - all of them are working fine (and no, none of us are transferring multi-gigabytes in our internal lan, but then again, not that many people do...) - this doesn't mean others aren't having issues, and that VM are trying to resolve them, but I would have thought that in a random sample of 25, if the problems were that widespread, it would have come up. But then again, this, like most of the postings in this thread, is anecdotal, and no basis for a truly factual discussion.
Again, this is not saying others aren't having problems, so perhaps just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean my head is in the sand, it is just about trying to bring a sense of proportion to the debate.
It does seem to be binary with some people, when in fact the reality is fuzzy.
btw, "can't back down" - that is exactly what I mean about a sense of proportion; it's only a discussion on an internet forum, not life or death. I would love for the facts to come out about the failure/problem rate with the new hubs, just to bring some facts to the discussion.
