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.
They are writing it because it's what customers have been asking for. It's a simple as that.

It's the easiest compromise for both parties. Virgin want the SuperHub as the only bit of kit going forward for quite a few reasons, some customers want to use their own kit for other reasons.

It will not be cost effective going forward (whether paid for or not) to provide a seperate hardware solution for a modem only.
