I upgraded to 60Mb in June and had so many problems relating to extremely slow speeds that I was calling VM three of four times a week. Every engineer that called had nothing good to say about the Superhub and one engineer was even considering giving me the modem that is used for the 50Mb service as I had downgraded to 30Mb while the problems persisted.
Instead he put my Superhub was put into modem mode and I was given a DIR-615 router to use. My problems disappeared immediately. Admittedly, the firmware on the Superhub has been upgraded since but I've left the DIR-615 connected and have decided not to use the Superhub on its own as both a modem and a router. The DIR-615 has a few more options that can be configured so I prefer it to the router in the Superhub anyway.
Download speeds are very good and I usually download software ISOs at 7.4Mb/s, the maximum for a 60Mb connection.
Although my problem was solved the cause was never found.
