yup, I have seen no evidence to say the shubs are better latency wise, technically they should be worse by design. There has been a huge debate about it on the forum will some people asserting that the vmng300 is better but I believe this was unproven. At best the shubs will equal the vmng300, they definitely won't beat it.

Following on from Kush's advice, if you ever do want/feel the need to ring up for a shub don't take any bs. It has been VM's policy from the get go to make shub2's available exclusively for 120mbits. They are the ones wanting you to get rid of your vmng300 so make sure they give you a shub2 in exchange and not a poxy shub1.
