Not impressed with SuperHub

As per http://tinyurl.com/d4wtrsl

Last night I moved from 10Mb to 30Mb and migrated across to the SuperHub as part of it. It's not worked from the start, and I've played with more settings and restarts than I care to mention... what I can reliably replicate is..

Superhub in modem mode, going through my old Netgear WGR614 router, I can get typically 8-10Mb, but WiFi is reliable.

Superhub in wireless mode, I can scrape maybe 10-15Mb. Has been as low as 0.5Mb

Superhub in wired mode, I can make 20Mb.

Only an hour ago, I lost wireless completely, and could not get any internet access except by using modem mode and going through Netgear.

Digging around in the "connection" section of the Superhub maintenance screens, the "max traffic rates" do seem to be set to 30down/2 up... so it's either the Superhub hardware, or the DOCSIS3 (??) network that's causing this....

I've certainly never achieved more than 20Mb, which I might be inclined to blame on congestion in the area (BS37).. but I am within an inch of calling VM to "upgrade" back to 10Mb and the old Motorola surfboard modem. At least that setup worked.

Apart from the Superhub being rubbish (hence the whole point of using modem mode)... is there anything I'm missing here?! Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks
