It's not an admission of anything. The superhub2 (Superduperhub?) could have first class wireless and people would still want a Modem-only mode because many of us prefer to run our own routers, due to more extensive firmware options or additional features. Hell, some people might just want to run their own DHCP server - it's called choice.

However 20MB is more than enough for me and I suspect 95% of punters. If I'm getting a reliable service now no need to change to a Superdud which has faults. 10 MB more will make zilch difference in day to day use, all for a less reliable service on which I have to mess about with Modem mode as the equipment is pants.
Pity VM didn't do some testing on version 1 - oh, wait they have by using their customers..... I won't trust whatever VM say about it, but I do trust customers who kindly test it and pay for the privilege.
Maybe this Superdud2 is the real deal, but I'll wait and see (or until my ntl250 calls it a day  ) |
You keep calling it the "Superdud", but you keep overlooking the fact that it's actually fine as a Modem - its the wireless side and other router functions that it has issues with. The superhub, as a modem, is absolutely fine. That also means it's just as effective as your Ambit 250 modem, except that it can do DOCSIS3 which means better load balancing. Every single time you say you're sticking with your Ambit 250, you're showng that you don't actually pay attention to what those issues are. A superhub + whatever router you're using now would be just as effective and stable.
However, that being said - it also means you don't
need a Superhub, you're happy with your 20mbit and that's great, we're all really happy for you but it also means your opinion on the only equipment that can go higher than 20 (Ambit 300 aside) is pretty much void.
