Okay, I can't resist.

I'm happy to announce we're two to three weeks away from launching the beta test of the R35 Super Hub firmware. This includes the following changes:

- Updated wireless drivers: A fix for issues with multi threaded download applications you mean you are going to fix something that should have worked from the start so everyone can use the "lightning fast" internet connections you are advertising and the wireless which everyone household uses for multiple devices these days and you also advertise in the adverts in front of x-factor showing a family in a house all doing different things at the same time

- General improvements related to the Super Hub rebooting or resetting to factory settings sounds like a pretty big issue which should have been fixed during the "rigourous testing" the shub went through before it was even released

- A fix for iPlayer problems on the XBox 360 Oh, another increasingly frequent activity users are performing and wasnt picked up on

I don't actually think it is funny and I am not moaning either. I actually think it is quite sad. I feel like I am watching one of those films where a local football team from some outback village in Africa come over and try to compete with the major leagues with no resources and no money. These are all stupid common functions and features which should have worked from the start. It is as bad as me trying to make my own router, send it to everyone, and then spend the next three years with everyone telling me what is wrong with it and me fixing it as I go along. It is pathetic.

I honestly do hope they do some major fixes to make it more stable for everyone but knowing their track record, I can't see them fixing the wireless so it works 100% (or as reliable as other routers) and I can't see them fixing the shub rebooting; probably only the one or two major causes of it falling over.

Good luck and keep your fingers crossed.
