shows that issues are not unique to Virgin and yes Virgin have made mistakes but to keep spouting on about it and making statements that you have no way of backing is wearing a bit thin.
IMO that's pretty irrelevant plus the BT HomeHub 3 knocks spots off the VM Superhub on wireless performance.

Is the Superhub usable - yes.
Is it fault free - no.
Does everybody get problems - no but it seems that lots do.
Can some or indeed most of those problems be circumvented by putting it in modem mode and buying a router of your choice - yes.
Should you buy a router straight away - no - try the Superhub first - it may be good enough.

I don't rate the Superhub at all but I am using it - that's because I don't expect super performance from an ISP freebie and can make do with what it will do. YMMV
