I took 50 meg one month before that wretched SH was forced on the poor trusting peops (I accept that there is no more production of the VMNG300).

Anyway, the only involuntary reboots I've had could be traced in the event log to actions at the VM end. Very rare indeed. I keep a running event log record and stats snapshots as well as Thingbroadband graphs. So I can relate logged events to external behaviour.

My VMNG300 won't sync above 7dBmv input power (the cabinet is 70m away). I'm blessed with a number of FPAs so I can substitute them winter/summer so as to maintain something close to 0 dBmv. My Rx-MER is around the 34½ mark (was around 32½). Correctables are high, but with the improved SNR the rate of increase has halved (just the 2 or 3 dB). Uncorrectables do not rise at all. Performance is fine, although VM are beginning to load up my UBR - possibly as a swing server while they upgrade others to the new line cards; I'm not sure.

The modem connects to an Airport Extreme router which is as good as the best of the rest. Certainly 5GHz wireless performs well for those who use it simultaneously with the 2.4 GHz mode. Apart from wireless, all PCs come off Powerlines/Homeplugs which deliver the full 50 meg.

I have BT Infinity running across the same LAN - but that's a different (satisfactory too) subject.

VMNG300 is a good 'un.
