However speed tests so far conducted have all come out at about 104Mb and downloads have been 9.8Mbps so I am very happy still.

I also have no issues with speeds on the superhub. Rock solid 60 meg connection any time of day, no reboots etc .. although I do run mine in modem mode due to having a router here.
The main problem with the superhub (even in modem mode) is the extra jitter compared to all other modems Virgin Media have supplied in the past. I always had jitter of 0-2ms average on all previous modems they supplied, but the superhub averages 6-12ms. This might be fine for most online activities, but for gaming the superhub isnt the ideal piece of equipement to have.
Theres many posts online about how switching from a superhub to a VMNG300 reduced ping/jitter from the same Virgin media connection. Might have to bombard the CEO office I think, see if I can scrounge one simply to reduce jitter
I know there's a new firmware coming out soon aswell, which is supposed to improve the superhubs performance, but I bet the increased jitter will still remain
Cheers
