You still have the protection offered by NAT but that is not the point. One would expect that on such a limited feature device that they would all work.

Unfortunately during my experience of the superhub very few if any of the features worked totally as expected. Quite disgraceful IMHO
Yes I totally agree with all that you have said. I still maintain that despite my SH in normal mode currently behaving itself it is a shoddy piece of kit. it's cheap and nasty. I notice that even on the instructions issued by VM on setting up the SH it states that even a 'fish tank can reduce signal strength' and heaven forbid that you put it on a 'bookshelf between two books'. Not much chance through walls then?

It's a pity that VM don't concentrate much more on offering a proper world class cable solution to us residential punters rather than offering confused information and pricing, missed deadlines, TV channels that are nothing but repositories of what has been shown already on mainstream TV channels, speed doubling designed to hit the headlines that results in a crippled network followed by speed reductions for most of the day because they can't cope and finally - lying to their customers. If they sacked the marketing team, stopped the stupid TV adverts and plowed money into network, content and support for their technicians we would all be happy.
