Our office actually has a VM Business 50meg service with Superhub. I think we got it just in a brief window before VM pulled it for techy reasons. We use a dynamic rather than static IP.

The superhub is in it's standard routing mode, not modem option which doesn't seem available. It's firmware is clearly different to the residential router, being "V5.5.2R04T15-BU"

The fact we have a dynamic IP isn't a big issue as we don't hold servers locally. In any case the VM dynamic IP seems very sticky. We also have a dual WAN setup with a slower ADSL2 connection as backup that has a static IP so for the very occasional need of remote connections to the office the DNS is pointed at that ADSL IP.

As we have dual WAN, both the superhub and the ADSL are connected into a Draytek dual WAN router. This works fine, even with the superhub itself being in a router mode. One seems to forward quite nicely into the other. We just make sure the Draytek and Superhub use different IP ranges. Speeds seem to be what we would expect.
