I'm sure someone with more knowledge will come along in a moment, but there's a few things you could try.
As mentioned a few times on this forum, you could try running
inSSIDer on one of your wireless PCs. This lets you see what wireless channels are being used near you and then you can switch the Superhub to a less congested one.
If your wireless devices support it, changing to the 5Ghz range could improve performance, especially if channel bonding is used too (I think the Superhub supports this). Virgin also have a
handy guide to placing your Superhub.
If you had a wireless router before the Superhub, you could place the Superhub
in modem mode and then use your previous router for Wireless and routing duties. This is what I'm doing at the moment. I'm currently using a Linksys router released in 2008, and this seems to be giving me faster wireless speeds then I can get with the Superhub.
