2) they want to match the offerings of BT and others who supply a Superhub like device with wireless etc built in. (Note though that I believe BT had recall on many of their BT Infinity routers due to a hardware issue so VM are not the only ones to have issues like this.)
BT use the homehub on their business customers?

the recall I think was on the openreach modems themselves not routers.
