Well whoever did tell you should not have as they could get in trouble as it is business sensitive information for which they can be sacked.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router

I like to have a choice, so went for.. "The option of either standalone modem or combined modem/router"

Any choice is better than Hobson's choice.

BTW, it won't be Cisco.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router

I think there should def be the option for both of them, I personally havnt had an expierence with the Superhub yet, but I think when I upgrade to the 100MB I will. IM not too thrilled about it so going to try and keep my original modem/router I was supplied with too when I got the 50mb in.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router

I voted for "the option", but I'd accept having that option within a single device. No manufacturer will be able to produce a 'one size fits all' piece of kit, so no ISP (VM included) will be able to supply one. Why VM chose to force-release a device that didn't have modem-only capability from day 1, is something only they can answer.

Re: Modem only or Modem/Router

also gone for the option as I personally would like to be able to use my own router but realise that most folks (who wouldn't have a clue forums like this exist) would be happy with one box!!
