No excuses. Like many other members have stated in the past, the shub works perfectly fine for them but the fact remains there is an unacceptable % of faults/errors with the shub which affect far too many users. If it was a piece of equipment that you had to buy from a store it would have been recalled or discontinued ages ago because nobody would be buying it.
With reference to your 10mbit, problems with the shub become more apparent when it is put under load so you are sort of right; 10mbit doesnt tax it. It is when you get to higher speeds (like a user reporting last week that on 50mbit he had no probs but when he upgraded to 100mbit it died), put large amounts of data through the switch or start connecting multiple devices and get it to do some work that it falls apart. And yes again, I know there are some users (e.g one of the mods) who will say they have got a tonne of stuff connected to it and dont have any probs. It shouldn't be a cross your fingers and hope it works scenario though, it should just work and that is it.
