My own opinion is based on my own experience, which is the superhub is pants. Looking back at my records from 18 months ago, rebooting the superhub 8 times in 24 hours meant it was having a good day. I accept that many people are happy (maybe they know no different??), and I accept that many people (probably a minority) are unhappy.
I think the BS comes from implying that the superhub, as a router, is as good as you can get when clearly (for some) it isn't. However, I think it would be unreasonable to expect VM to supply CPE that was on a par with off the shelf equipment costing an average weeks wage.
I accept that I haven't used any of my collection of superhubs for many months and the firmware upgrades might have sorted some of the issues I was having. BUT the inbuilt inability to run concurrent 2.4 & 5GHz networks together makes it a second-rate non-starter to me. With my Asus router I get a stronger 5GHz signal outside on the patio than the superhub gave on 2.4GHz, which to me questions the validity of the VM claims regarding 'best wireless performance'.
It would be nice to see how many downstream channels VM are running in this part of the world, but as I seem to get full speed 24/7 on my old modem I'm going to stay where I am until I'm forced (or bribed - hint to VM) to switch.
