But it's not. It's just over twice the volume of what you would have got had the SuperHub not been introduced - the VMNG300. You can't compare the SuperHub with the 256
What's DOCSIS 2 or 3 got to do with it? Are you saying the chips required for '3' need a case 3 times the size of those needed for '2'?

I do realise 'superhub' is a (basic, poorly specced) wireless router as well as a modem. That's not much help if all I want is a modem.

I can compare 256 with 'superhub', VMNG300 is not relevant; I have a 256, any change will mean I 'm provided with a 'superhub':
