Re: Virgin Media Business 300Mb announced

What I do find strange, but not surprising, is that VMB have chosen a new hub - the Hitron for their new services. Yet the firmware is not ready for their full range of business services, just as the 2AC was also not ready. Given that device was in use for about a year for their 152 Mb/s business services, I do wonder why it took that long to select a new device that had a similar shortcoming.

Is their way of offering multiple fixed IP so very strange that no hardware vendor has firmware support for it? If there is support out there on Cable CPE for their method why not select a device capable of that from day one?

They now have no new services in their line up until May/June where the publicly routable IP address can be assigned to the device sitting behind the VMB supplied device - a challenge if you want to form LAN to LAN VPN tunnels etc.

The old Cable modem fixed IP service had that as did the 50 Mb/s based business SH1, but nothing since.
