This has just persuaded me to save up and to get a Apple Airport Extreme, at least that offers dual channels.

Overall very impressed with 100meg though!
We have just had the 100mb installed (that reminds me, the Spotify deal hasn't shown in my account) and am also very pleased with it. The Superhub is actually pretty good although I suffer the same problem with the 5ghz spectrum. We have a wireless printer which is only G rated.

The thing you could do is setup up a guest network (which uses 2.4ghz) and connect your phone onto that and have the main one at 5ghz for all your other equipment. The only downside to that is if you want to access stuff on your network as this way you won't be able to. This is why I haven't done it for our printer. Might be a way though?

Also, Crawley is still showing Dec '11 yet we already have it installed. Guess it isn't 100% accurate.
