Re: Virgin to give new Superhub out.
Virgin Media had placed an order for my fast special delivery of my new Virgin Media Super Hub come to me soon next week, as they understood I need it for my 50 Meg and will upgrade to 100 Meg in Jan 2011.

I take it that you already have a 50Mb modem so the only way you would get a Superhub would be by paying £75 for it at the moment so I rather doubt that anyone has sent you one just because you asked for one.

Re: Virgin to give new Superhub out.
No, you are wrong here. It free of charge for anyone to have superhub for upgrade to 50 Meg from 10 Meg and virgin media told me there is no charge! Free of charge! The £75 fee is only applied if I stay with 10 Meg and want superhub without upgrade to 50 Meg.
It say on website:
How much does it cost?
New and existing customers:
Free when you add or upgrade to 20Mb broadband,
50Mb broadband or 100Mb broadband
£75 when taken with 10Mb broadband

As you already have a 50Mb modem they should not really do that but if so it is their loss.

No, not exactly, but it currently seems that the SPI firewall is reacting to lan side activity, and then locking some things down (though other activities may well continue at proper speeds). It either needs to be far less sensitive or just on the WAN-side.
It is likely triggered, I suspect, by the kind of extra activity generated by some new Windows 7 or Internet Explorer 9 activity, possibly even Windows Live activity. I suspect Windows 7 Homegroup activity incombination with IE9 myself, though it could be in combo with Windows Live Mesh too, but not everyone has that stuff turned on. It may be different activity triggering it for different people.
When it is triggered it knackers that activity. If you are getting these lan-side messages it will be gumming up some type of traffic somewhere. In my case the web browser grinds to a halt, well, it does work but at narrow band speeds and some pages just give up half way through loading. Including the Superhub settings pages, though they do work just very slowly until I disable the firewall setting. It may slow down different types of traffic for different people though.
If you get lan-side blocks going on then there is a problem because, unless you believe someone on your lan is trying to attack you, you know there is no correct reason to see these messages in the log.
Turn it off and those messages will go away. When we get a fixed firmware, you can turn it back on again.

OK. There is nobody on my LAN attacking me  I haven't seen any traffic slow down really. I don't think at all.

Apology received, free installation and reordered (for the 3rd time) for Wednesday. Not too happy, but as long as its before the new year, I wont be screaming!

Third time lucky then...  Good luck for Wednesday!

If you already have 50mb you should not be getting a free super hub.
