As far as I'm aware it won't ever be possible. The Public WiFi services Virgin are considering are in the street cabinets, not in people's homes

For all those that couldn't get their own or VM supplied router working with their VM supplied modem, how many had already got it working and were happily using the service without difficulty? Why force them to change?
No-one is forcing people to change. Most people are getting a SuperHub as part of an upgrade that they have requested.

Hopefully not, but some might consider it easier to plug their already working combined router/wireless access point into the Superhub rather than reconfigure # number of devices to use a new wireless network. It depends how bothered they are and it's something VM won't be able to collect statistics about.
Or you change the SSID and WPA of the SuperHub to match the previous Wireless details and all wireless devices will reconnect automatically.

I hope so. When bridge mode is active on a Superhub, does only port 1 on the LAN side of the device function for pass through or do all four work as one and the same?
From what has been said by those testing it, it's a single port on the Hub

Quote:
if/when everyone has moved to the DOCSIS3 network, which only the VMNG300, Superless hub, and Superhub work with.
Actually it's only the VMNG300 and SuperHub that are D3. The normal Hub is the same technology as the older modems
