Instead VMB are looking to release new services which may come out around November time (this year I hope) that feature new speeds, proper modem mode and fixed IP addressing. I was told these services would be provided with proper business grade hardware, not reprogrammed superhubs.

So roll on November.
This is consistent with a discussion I had with VMB also. Similar message about virtually phasing out the SH1 for business use, with a new device (which he believed to not be Netgear based), that will finally address the lack of fixed IP on 152 Mb/s service and pave the way for newer tiers with Fixed IP also.

When pressed on timescale I was told latter part of this year, likely November, so we have been given a similar message.

Ironically on my 50 Mb/s fixed IP service I have never had a SH1 lockup yet. The GUI does hang after it has been on more than about 48 hours, but that never affects actual traffic.


As you say roll on November!
