They have stuck with the superhub this long what makes you think they will go with your idea ??? |
I'd be surprised if VM don't at least have an idea of what other solutions are on the market.
I wouldn't call offering an updated stand alone modem
my idea. It's the
obvious solution to those that want a modem only, depending on the outcome of the R28 bridge mode firmware. I do wonder why VM are going through the process of paying to write this firmware update for what is a router with a switch and wifi built in, so that it renders 90% of the device surplus to requirements. I understand the single device for "tech support" response but when the Superhub is running in bridge mode there'll be so little of the Superhub to actually
support. Afterall what is there to a VMNG300 at the moment? It's plug it in and go, with a couple of status pages if you want to look at them.
Both people and businesses change their minds, adapt to new technologies, customer demands and changes in the market. VM have been offering modems for over a decade and there's going to be a number of customers who would prefer to keep the status quo. They're already relenting to some who want to keep their VMNG300 or have asked for one to replace their Superhub. Some customers will never consider a Superhub in bridge mode as keeping the status quo. Hammer to crack a nut analogy.
