I think youll probably get an email from VM saying something like "I'm Richard Bransons beard and your doubling is coming! But you have a modem that may not get the full benefit. Call xxxx to speak to Inida and try to get them to ship you a Superhub with its Unbeatable Wifi and life changing properties!"

If you ignore that and stay with your existing kit, when the doubling is done you'll still get the new config and extra speed. The VMNG300 can handle 100meg with its 4 downstreams. The roll out of 8 downstreams will just mean the Superhub will probably handle congestion better, but that remains to be seen as its all theory until 8 downstreams roll out.

What you really should do is take the offer up and get a superhub sent out, but say on your existing kit. Then if there are problems post doubling, you can swap to the superhub and have it activated much faster than waiting for one to be sent out then.
