Really? I've got broadband and an adequate network in my home with separate devices - it isn't broken, so what made VM decide I want them to fix it for me?

And for many posting on here, it hasn't. Are they all just wrong?

Why did VM pick such an apparently limited and unreliable device? (answer IMO: it was cheap.) Why did no-one in VM think that some high-spending customers might have also spent a lot of money on their home network, and only require VM to supply a modem? (answer IMO: they did, but modem resupply was too pricey.) Why did they rush it out before it was ready - fact: multiple firmware updates in 6 months = it was not ready - (answer IMO: faulty supply decisions mean it's all they have.)

I didn't say they were perfect, I just said VM wanted something to advertise against them.

It should have been there on day 1, not still waiting 6 months later.

But only in some respects, and you can't just dismiss the complaints, or say it'll be ok eventually. To those having problems with it, the fact that it works perfectly for you is totally irrelevant - they want their's to work as well.
