Superhub : Replacing Superhub

[whoareyou]

Hi.

I'm fed up with my Superhubs poor performance. Constant drop in signal and poor reception makes it very frustrating.
I'm reluctant to pay £50 for the SH2. Can anyone recommend a decent router to replace the SH?

Thanks

You are so lucky dude because you are going to be spared the lecture for now, I need to fly to work. Suffice to say that you can get this which is cheaper than shub2 and is better

or this is you want a brand spanking new one

I use an Asus N66-U, it's a beast of a piece of kit but you'll not get much change from 3 figures. If you're just looking for good, solid wireless then you should be able to get a good Linksys router for half the price of the Asus.

Phone retentions and put your notice in. The sh2 in my opinion is fantastic.

Thanks for all the replies. Will check out the suggestions.

Was offered the SH2 for £20 self installation by Virgin via email. When i phoned to purchase it I was told £50 with installation. Retentions wouldn't/couldn't help.

Call their bluff. Hand in your notice. You can cancel your cancellation if you get nowhere

Someone's at VM is telling porkies. I got my SH2 AND Tivo for a combined £20, didn't even have to speak to retentions either

I have a Netgear WNDR3700V4 for £90 and great wireless!

It's probably less that they're telling porkies and more that someone hasn't been trained correctly. It's a roulette who you get through to and what they can do.

If the guy is in contract, then retentions won't do a thing because they simply don't have to. They'll tell him that if he wants to leave, he has to break contract and pay the rest up - that'll be enough to stop him.

it foesn't matter either way dude. Keep your £20 from the shub and spend £40 on the Linksys one I recommended

[qasdfdsaq]

Yeah, at least if you buy your own router it becomes your property and you can do whatever you want with it, including keeping it if/when you leave VM.

I will agree with that

Virgin really needs to step their game up in regards to people selling property which does not actually belong to to them in regards to Ebay having hundreds of Virgin Boxes Modems, etc...
Even have people selling Superhub 2's now!
