Hmm, I suppose you have to look after the advertisers, but then surely you can't claim to be an independent forum with unbiased information?

As Paul M is a member of the team and a Site Administrator I think what he says goes somehow, and that is lifted from the site Terms and Conditions thread.

I've had my vmng300 for two weeks now and it's never rebooted once, wifi has been solid and it's kept the ssid I set

P.s. 9 days is so far, only time its cut off is due to a powercut; prior to that it was up to around 12 days

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
My point is for some reason your docsis 3 hub works, the majority I install do but alot can only achieve 35meg wireless. Also I'm consistently trucked to 'downstream 10db' and when I arrive it turns out to be a wifi rebooting issue.
Basically the customer upgraded to 30, the wifi is crap, called support, they don't know why it drops wifi so sends me to attenuate, still drops wifi so I swap hub, still drops wifi....
Never once had this issue with dlink

Re: Superhub is nowhere near as bad as people say!
Looking at the photos on the VM site, one is gloss and the other matt, so maybe we could use 'gossyhub' and 'mattyhub'
Cheers

VM don't advertise directly here - any adverts/links are just googleclicks on what people are posting.
We have no links to VM, except an informal contact to help resolve CF'ers problems.

That is a post from Paul M who is part of the Cable Forum Team. Stating that name calling of Vm or their products will not be accepted on the site, as per the t&cs.

If you use Adblocker then you see none of the advertisements, quite a useful tool.

It was posted in the CF Site Terms of use and Reminders thread, by the site owners - members are expected to comply with the Site T&Cs, and with any site announcements such as that.

Amazing. In less than an hour, this has gone from a comment on VMs marketing name for a routine piece of kit, to a t&cs discussion of whether I'm allowed to call it names or not. For the record, I haven't invented any other name for it, just questioned VM's choice.
I thought this was a discussion forum but it seems I'm wrong - it appears to be Paul M's playground, and I don't understand the rules, so I'm outta here.

So sites are not supposed to have rules, are you for real.
If the were no rules then this site would just meltdown plus I expect no Virginmedia staff would post here in any capacity as they would feel intimidated.
