Thanks for your reply!
When you say removed from the network, if the modem was working at a friends house last week, would that mean it will still work at my address, or is the activation account specific?

The shub works brilliantly in modem mode and the most important thing you have got to worry about it using a decent router wich can address your requirements regarding stability, dhcp, good wi-fi and I would also suggest dns.

I'm not sure i mentioned what i was going to use it for. But latency is a big issue for me. The modem will be connected to a debian server which will be running a web application that demands low latency, the faster the better. It will work with any latency but the lower the better!
If the SH is faster then great, but from what I have heard it is not. Do you have a link to your friends findings on the speeds? Maybe there is some differences between the performance based on firmware. Maybe the old superhub was slower and the newer one is a bit faster.

Many peeps see this as a down side but I am using one on 120mbits and never have any problems getting max speed. I do consider myself one of the lucky few though because I know I am in an area with low utilisation. When we move on to 200mbits I know I am going to need a shub because with the vmng300 I would have to have 4 downstream channels all to myself in order to achieve the throughput.

hmmm. when is the 200 planned ? and is the upload 20mbps ?
Does anyone know about the SuperHub2 ? does this offer modem only improvements? If yes how do i get one from VM?
