The majority of users are not techies and wont know the difference or when best to use the frequencies.

Lets hope Virgin doesn't have the same problems with firmware that went on for years with their previous superhubs. Wonder when it will actually get released to customers?
I dont recall the SH2 having firmware issues

Exactly, managed to use my old homeplugs, got him up to his full 16meg. Hopefully sky release a decent router for his renewal, bt and virgin are moving to AC and sky dont even use 5ghz.

The Sky hub is rock solid stable, never ever needs rebooting or touching. Never had a problem with the wireless range either. They could and should have used better specs and it would surprise me if they don't have decent upgrades in the next version.

Give me a hassle free Sky hub over a SuperFail any day.

Having 8 wifi networks in the house is unusual and a crap way of doing things. Get a proper network guy in to sort out the mess

About time I made a post in the Virgin section about how crap the Virgin hardware is....
Ive never said the SH1 was good, infact I was warned serveral times calling it names
