My frustration is all down to the fact staff members saying their going to take a break, its unbelievably pathetic.

Yes they have new contractors in place now but are they going to provide firmwares? is it all netgear? is someone else involved? are they all together? please excuse my lack of knowledge, confirmation would be nice? if its 1 writing the firmware then having an extra contractor or two would mean the first has extremely shoddy hardware when in fact its been proven that its ok, R30 proves that unless its the wireless chip thats being upgraded?
Thenry - don't you think we should build on "what's done is done". This fixation on VM "taking a break" is probably labouring the comment too much.

VM have a bloody nose over the SH. They don't really have the grace to fully admit it, IMO - but they've brought in a second supplier and stats will show whether or not there's an improvement, both with the 485 and the 480.

I think focus might now shift from what a normal Netgear router (or the CG3100D) would offer and what's been removed as a result of VM's firmware specification. In other words, why has VM specified a firmware (slugging some features) and then put up a thread in the VM forum asking punters what features they's like to see? Seems somewhat amateur to me.
