Can't watch it at the moment, what was their verdict?

On the face of it I did the right thing upgrading from my WNDR3700 to the Asus RT N66U, because the SH2 despite its superior wireless performance just doesn't have the features I require in a router, eg to be able to tunnel through to media on my USB drive whilst out and about. I will continue in SH2 modem-only mode for the foreseeable future.
VM had a difficult balance to strike. For most folk they got it right. SH2 will serve a wired or multiple wireless networks admirably, outdoing Home hub 4 or 5 even on wireless perhaps. It appears that the new home hub has better USB functionality though and also 4 gigabit ports.

Perhaps VM should also be promoting the SH2 as if guys have their brains in their pants. Imagine that! Sexy ads demonstrating the girl-pulling power of Superhub 2. The ombudsman can't shoot you down for fantasy claims, whereas, VM, you can be shot down for technical claims.

I just watched Chad's link to Channel 5 Gadget Show. It appears that VM and BT cannot be separated on WiFi performance. Time for BT to stop promoting theirs as the best WiFi perhaps? BT's FTTP 300Mb and their Home Hub 5 could change all that. Wake up Virgin!
