The thing with any ADSL is that you can use off-the-shelf kit of your choice and with cable the modem has to be VM supplied. As originally provided you really were stuck with the Superhub unless you got it replaced with a VMNG300 by complaining to the CEO office.
You do have some justification in pointing a finger at Sky because you have to search to find out how to use your own router with them and it contravenes their T&C to do so but on VM you can't (apart from going down a very dodgy path into the chipped modems area). I just found out how in less than a minute. I wont publish the url because their disclaimer makes it look almost illegal but if I was using the service and their kit didn't suit me I wouldn't hesitate ...

This website allows you to discover the ADSL username and password that your Sky router uses. Please read the following disclaimer carefully before proceeding.
This site is strictly for informational purposes only. If you choose to make use of the information provided by this site, you do so at your own risk.
Using a router other than the one provided to you by Sky constitutes a breach of the terms and conditions that you agreed to when you entered into a contract with Sky. It is entirely possible for Sky to detect not only the MAC address of the router you are using, but also the make and model number, and Sky may take a range of actions against you, including suspension of service, either immediately or at some point in the future.
If you decide to use your own router, you should be sufficiently competent to understand how to use it and how to resolve any problems that may occur. Sky will most definitely not provide you with any assistance, and whilst you may be able to get help from community-based forums, that is by no means guaranteed. To put it simply, if once you've obtained your router user name and password, you need help settings things up, then you shouldn't be using your own router.
It is possible that Sky may, at some point in the future, introduce changes to their broadband service that render the information given on this website incorrect and ineffective.
If you are having problems with your Sky router you are strongly advised to investigate alternative ways of resolving those issues without breaching the terms and conditions of your Sky Broadband contract.
