Re: Finally had enough of VM BS...........

To honour Mick Fisher's point about BS, VM is full of BS in other areas.

Here's what they currently say on their web site in relation to the Super Hub:

Welcome to wonderful wireless broadband
With a wireless network in your home, no-one needs to plug in with wires. That means everyone can connect to the internet at the same time using one fast, secure broadband connection – in different rooms and on all sorts of devices (like laptops, smartphones or games consoles).
The best bit? All you need is a Virgin Media Super Hub, which is included with all our broadband packages.

The Virgin Media Super Hub - our fastest ever wireless- Packed with the latest wireless ā€˜N’ technology for a really fast, secure - connection
- Built to handle speeds of over 120Mb
- 5GHz compatible

How fast is wireless broadband?
Don't worry - going wireless won't cramp your style. You can still do everything that you'd expect to do with a wired connection, only now you're not tied to your desk:
- Go online anywhere in the house
- Print stuff from anywhere in the house
- Get fast broadband on your mobile instead of using 3G
- Send photos from your mobile to your laptop
- Play music from your computer around the house
- Download a film onto your laptop to watch on your TV


I don't need to point out the blatant pieces of BS - surely even to die-hard VM geeks.
