That's the thing though.
This so called Superhub was "supposed" to be super. It's got hub in it's name for a reason but frankly didn't live up to it. The 280's a real SuperHub
The modem mode is a workaround to problems that should never had come about for a premium product.
I've gone back to the hub so was just ranting really

how can i say its fine......quite easily..


'it's fine'

listen m8 you have been having issues...that is you not me..i have been having no issues with it...so in my opinion it is fine..i do not use wireless.all my devices are hardwired.as i said if you are having problems or issues with wireless then use the hub in modem mode and use your own router..

apart from the wireless issues with the hub it works fine ...stop moaning you sound like a little girl

I see my attempt at sarcasm failed horribly!

Of course they could do that.

I'm waiting in tomorrow for the engineer to upgrade me from 30 to 50mbps.

I expect they'll have to do NOTHING other than call it in.

We've been through many speed upgrades in the past that used only a config file change:

512kbps->1mbps, 1->2, 2->4, 4->10, 10-> 20

From this Wednesday 21st the SuperHub becomes the standard kit for all customers taking broadband and upgrading.

The VMDG280 (D2 Hub) will still be used for fault swaps where available, however eventually the SuperHub will be supplied for fault swaps too

Did this actually happen?

Because the website has not been updated.

Maybe VM are just slow to update their site.

I doubt all standard hubs have been taken from installers, so I think in the interim some customers will still receive the standard hub on the lower tier as with when we swapped over to the hubs from the Ambit 256, some customers were still installed with them for a week or two.

yup, and then when they get given a shub instead of a normal hub then it is just an added "bonus" (or super screw over depending which way you want to look at it )

The vast majority work without any issues and mine included.

System Up Time 43 days 03h:44m:48s

The above is only due to a localised short overnight powercut otherwise it would have been closer to 5 months.

At present you will still get what is on the shelf in the warehouse so it could easily turn out to be a standard hub until the stock runs out so I would leave it until the end of January before calling up with a fault.

If you break your 255 you'll get a regular hub, I got handed a big box on the 23rd

You will still be issuing them until they run out.
