Even dd-wrt and Openwrt, considered by some as the best OSF around do this regularly. Many of the products that I know of that work "reliably" in HT + MIMO mode do so by being "bad neighbours" and ignoring the interference-mitigation sections of the wireless spec.

True enough, but running DD-WRT r16785 on the DIR-615 gives 130Mbps and average transfer speeds of 7-9MB/s, which is about what I was getting with the superhub on 300Mbps, which I consider a respectable result. I think things were faster with r14929 (more of a "bad neighbour" version), but not by much. Now I have a gigabit-capable switch if I really need to move things between the laptop and desktop at high speed I can just plug an ethernet cable in.
My contention is, if the superhub was released with use of the 100Mbps service in mind, having to set the wireless N to the more stable 145Mbps mode is going to put you well below peak bandwidth in a real-world situation (maybe 3-5MB/s if you're lucky). DD-WRT will run fine for weeks at a time even after large file transfers on a cheap router, so I don't think it's too much to ask for the "flagship" VM CPE which is supposed to replace it to do the same.
