Surely nobody in modem mode laments that fact. Quite the opposite - most would say it's the best thing they could have done.

There are people on this very forum who would cry "Pry my VMNG300 from my cold, dead hands!" even after the Superhub's modem mode became available.

Other than that piece of nit picking on my part, we are obviously in agreement.

It's always worth keeping in mind that the vast majority of virgin customers (or rather, any ISP) are not tech savvy power users. They don't realise that having one single device means they're getting a poor experience, at best they just want convenience and part of that convenience is having to only give up one plug and one bit of shelf space (Or behind-the-tv space). It sounds daft to anyone who cares about performance or needs something beyond opening a few ports but that's the reality - most people don't want or care about that, they just want to get online with the least amount of effort.
