VM are not alone in this, Sky and BE both try it on and there are probably other ISP's that I don't know about.

Why do they bother as judging by the crap hardware and firmware supplied they obviously can't or won't afford to supply decent kit. One can only suppose that insisting on locked down Hubs gives them the ability to snoop on us via these Hubs. Maybe they can sell the data obtained, who knows? Their has got to be a reason for it other than the half baked standardised hardware for support purposes. VM have practically no readily accessable customer facing support that you can have a meaningful conversation with anyway.

So c'mon Guys bin all these underperforming Hub's, save yourselves a small fortune by only supplying us with Modems.
