(and with the washing machine you have soap powder, clothes, electricity, and the machine - modem/routers you have the cable infrastructure, the modem/router, the PC, the multitude of software on PC, wireless/wired connection, the site being connected to, etc etc...)

Sorry, I'm missing your point. It seems I should expand on mine: modern household washing machines have scores of different programmes; modern consumer cameras also have scores of features. How many of those programmes and features do "most people" use - how many simply leave the camera on 'auto' at all times, or use the same programme for every wash? Your point was "consumer items would be too complex for the mass market" with too many facilities; the mass market has shown it is perfectly able to ignore facilities it doesn't need.

yep, whats key is having good defaults or a auto setting that does its job well, but what is also key is allowing people to deviate from the defaults, auto may not always do the job well on a camera as an example.

Virgin Media had accepted apology for issues on superhub and they had now re-activated my old 50Meg black modem VMNG300 for a time being until the superhub is fixed. They also refunded me Â£30 too.

Superhub: 17.31Meg on wi-fi
VMNG300 via Netgear Router N: 32.39Meg

Not bad for 50Mb/s (even better for Photoshop....)

Not a potatoshop (the image is actually hosted on the speedtests.net server).

Its likely just one of the odd dodgy results the site can give when something gets cached.

Pity that it is not even possible unless you are running Kaspersky.

So IV heard the word 'march' being thrown around. Is this when we have to wait until to get the update? Does anyone know?

Actually it's going to be closer to May.

Looks like a discount is in order!

How can they possibly expect customers to pay full price for something they admit needs fixing?

Read the first post. Testers in April, release in May.

I am still of the view that VM will provide standalone modems if enough people say that they want their own routers to be the main portal.

I do not wish to daisy-chain my WNDR3700 in with the inferior router capabilities of the superhub. eg. The WAN/LAN throughput is nearly 500Mbps and it has a 680 MHz processor. I will cancel my order if they refuse.
