this is very important to read very carefully:

You never needed a superhub to start off with but they are trying to force them on everyone for some reason. Your current modem can handle your ew speed absolutely fine and it is capable of going a lot faster. I have got the same modem as you along with many other users and if I didnt think it was working properly then I wouldnt use it. I love it that much that I had to write a letter of complaint to the CEOs office before xmas to get it back because an engineer came round when I was out and swapped it over for a shub without my permission (long story).

Anyways, we have already established you have already been upgraded because you have got the new config. VM sending you the shub is a waste of time and you definitely do not need it in anyway shape or form to make your connection work. If you are happy with how things are and the router you are using at the moment then great. When the shub arrives it can stay in it's box and gather dust because you dont need it.

The only minor snag you might have is that your current router (which you havent mentioned) might not have gigabit ports in it depending how old it is and you might not get your full 100mbits. Your modem is fine but the router might slow your connection down a tad. If this is the case I would suggest you invest in a new proper router (£30-£40 ish) instead of using the shub.
