Ok update which might be of interest, engineer was booked for Sat 14th AM, I did assume I might be waiting around all morning but no.. Virgin chap arrived at 8.40am !! he tried to just uses the old power supply from my existing VM300 which some people have advised may cause issues. I then tried to chat about the potential issues I may have with the Superhub but he seemed totally unaware of any issue with the hardware.. but hang on I then said how please I was with the speed doubling rollout .. he had no idea OMG !! I said the TV ads .. Bolt, funny beard etc. ? not a clue ! how can that be.
That aside the guy was very quick & pleasant was all sorted in 15mins.
Getting solid 50Mb down just under 5Mb up .. wireless is not as good as my old Netgear WNDR3700 but OK. Our kids both have laptops which are both getting good speeds other HW in the house (iMac,PC,PS3 Wii) is all hard wired (& the kids have Gigabit sockets in their rooms should it be a issue) so overall pretty happy.. if anyone is Interested my WHS running 2011 seems to work fine with the Superhub as well. I did assume I would have to run the Superhub in modem mode from day one... of course it might be too early to judge & I no doubt will be back on here moaning if it all goes horribly wrong but for now the Superhub /Virgin gets a "tick"
