I just received an email from VM telling me I can have a new Superhub free in order to take advantage of an increase in BB speed from 20mb to 50mb.

Currently I'm using one of the old cable modems connected to a Netgear Router and it works OK but of course I have nothing else to compare it with. I was only wondering yesterday how long the old modem will last so I'm tempted to take up the offer but, as a novice in such matters, I'm wondering how simple (or not) the upgrade/setup process would be and whether (other than BB speed) moving to a Superhub will have any bearing on my other services or the way in which I access and use them. As the Wi-Fi setup I'm currently using will no longer be in use, I know I'll need to set up a new security code and reset all our wi-fi devices to connect to the new equipment but is that all that will be involved?

I'm not in desperate need of faster BB but it would be nice providing it doesn't bring with it a whole lot of other issues and general hassle.

TIA as always.
