I think it is an excellent compromise between them wanting standardised cpe for tech support and still allowing customers to use their own routers if they want to. After all these years they might have finally realised that the shub is just too much hassle. I feel sorry for the guys who are just banging out firmware all the time.

Unfortunately, for every person who laments having to use a hub in modem mode, there are 3 or 4 users who hate having two separate devices taking up two separate plug sockets. I have no issue with the hubs myself, as long as they have modem mode. There's really no difference between the standalone CPE and a Hub in modem mode. That's the real best of both.
