I believe VM are trying to be more consistent with retrieving old equipment now, but there's still at least one confirmed case on this forum already of them not bothering and just telling the user to keep/bin a Superhub that was no longer in use.

If VM say to a user "keep it, we don't want it back" I don't see the harm in someone giving it away or taking it apart.

I know, this is why I don't generally take apart equipment that's supplied for a service or covered under a warranty. But old throwaway equipment someone else is about to chuck in the bin is fair game far as I'm concered. Granted, there aren't a lot of superhubs in this state yet, but with all 20mb+ users getting one now it's only a matter of time.

I know people will be curious and will dismantle them if given one, that is different even though not strictly allowed but we cannot prevent that happening.

Nothing wrong with stopping people from nosing at other modems in their local area, stopping people accessing their own was somewhat irritating though.

I remember the many posts that you made over this issue.

If it is officially announced then they will be fully aware of the product and happy to help, glad I do not deal with these calls.

I'm sure there will be some CS who deny its existence.

That will only happen if it is officially released so no one should be holding their breath waiting for a call unless it is announced.

Personally if it is announced I would callback myself rather than waiting as you may be waiting a while otheerwise as the upgrade is bound to be popular.

If you wait and no call is received you were warned.

You have seen copy/paste of E-Mail we all got and the convo the CS guy had with me !

I personally ain't going to be sitting by the phone regardless of fact machine will record msg and I can call him back on the direct number he game me.

I will not be chasing it up on the 1st Feb if I do not get a call be it live or recorded on my machine and TBH I am not 100% bothered about the upgrade as the service is not that great period for me in recent years due to oversubscription of my area (officially confirmed).

Again the 30Meg was officially though was premature as it was on the VM site not some rumour elswhere.

It is not an official upgrade unless it has been released properly the webpage was an error as no one has anything as yet on their systems relating to the supposed upgrade.
