What's missing from this thread (unless I missed it) is that you shoould have to pay £75 for a piece of junk (or to use the OP's phrase "a crock o'exrement". Except in modem mode where it's perfectly good.

But then you already have a modem. So stay with that is the advice you're getting.

EDIT: To address Stephen's point - the silent majority is no evidence of satisfactory product, particularly if they've quietlt gone to modem mode to get round the rubbish wireless performance. The stuff we see on here simply shouldn't happen. In the VM Forum, the official staff have openly acknowledged the SH's failings. BTW if you've seen the photos of the SH's insides and where the wireless postage stamp sized antennae are glued you'd have no doubts about the veracity of my opinion.

In modem mode, my SH is flawless.
