I'm quite prepare to give it a go - all I absolutely need is port forwarding and that is there albeit with a very klunky set up procedure.
I never use ISP DNS and it's annoying that the firmware doesn't allow an override but I just manually hard code that.
No Dynamic DNS services but I have a 24x7 desktop so running a software client covers that. Come to that I could do it with an IP webcam I have too.
I don't use torrents so the problems I've seen reported with hangs doing so unless the SPI firewall is turned off really don't matter to me.
WiFi range is poor on R30 and I don't see how firmware could improve it anyway but I only need it for my phone and an iPad. I run a FON router with an external aerial so if I need WiFi in the garden and the SH doesn't provide it that will.
So long as I don't need regular reboots and it doesn't adversely impact web performance it will be OK - my internal network is just a couple of gigabit switches which is why my venerable Buffalo was OK when I was on 10Mbps. I bought the D-Link when I was on 50Mbps and had the Superhub then swapped out for a VMNG300.
Overall I'm pleased with the upgrade 10Mbps to 60Mbps for an extra £2.50 a month is a very good deal even if I didn't hit the 60Mbps but it looks like I am right now. Mind you on 50Mbps it was fine and went down the tubes alarmingly quickly which was why I downgraded to 10Mbps.
