I notice a power usage increase when I installed the Hub,

but once I saw the Hub in a dark room, I could see why,

surely there is no logical reason to have the Status lights and the Virgin Logo so bright, in a dark room it looks like a disco light show,

Blue and green flashing from the side and the same with a grid pattern from the top

The superhub seems to be out of proportion to its capabilities IMO,

I use the Superhub together with an Apple Time Capsule

My Time Capsule is slightly smaller and has an integral PSU a fan two wireless antenna's and a 1TB hard Drive in a similar space

The TC also delivers automatic dual channel connections and is far more stable again IMO,

I can only think that the housing on the HUB aids cooling a well as providing an illuminated Virgin Logo for all to see
