Looks like there is still no love for the SH (should there be two more letters?)

I'll stick with my wireless router and modem for now, then.

I'm not in a rush to get one. My NTL250 modem has proved reliable and gives a consistent 10MB, which is all I, and I suspect most punters, need. 20MB will be nice but suspect I won't notice much of a difference in day to day use, not all of us download most of Amazon's content.....

Too many people people having issues the Superdud - yes there is Modem mode, but that's a workaround which you shouldn't have to do - it should just work. It's not too clever with VPN either, which I need.

I'll wait to they release something that is reliable. I suspect that means till they introduce a new modem - these upgrades haven't cured all issues which suggests the SH is fundamentally flawed. People are obsessed with speeds/speed tests when a constant, reliable connection is far more important.

IT is a complete mystery to me just what you mean

SHAM, obviously. Mentalis has decided wisely - seeing as Â£75 squids would be the price.

I had the old blue modem and while talking to CS they said they would send me one free of charge, there was no talk of Â£75.00 I'm only on large BB

I now have two of these so called SH (two letters missing)

I've always got love for the Superhub as I personally have never had any problems what so ever with any of the SHs I have used over the last couple of years.

I'm on my fifth in two years. Apart from poor WiFi range and lack of features it is working and I am persisting with router mode.

Yes, and the only reason for more than one has been for tests and trials for various things.

Sephiroth · 22-08-2012, 19:58

.... possibly for various things that others were seriously suffering.

I'm on number 5 because...

Install - first two didn't work at all. The install took a couple of hours and 3 VM bods before it was working. I was seriously underimpressed with the technical competence of all 3 so it may not have been the hubs to blame.

I complained about problems when using wireless on #3 and got #4 via the forum.

I complained to CEO office about #4 because it was predictably no different and got a VMNG300. While I was using that the firmware fix for the wireless driver memory leak was issued.

I upgraded from 10 which I'd downgraded to from 50 because of severe over utilisation to 60 and they insisted I needed a Superhub. The one I had wasn't on the books so they sent another and I've drilled holes for external antennas in casing #4 and put the guts of #5 in that - I'll swap the casing back if VM ever want #5 back or it needs replacing because it breaks.

None of mine have been especially troublesome except for the WiFi. I've put up with and/or worked around the poor feature set. I'm running with the firewall turned off and just relying on NAT and native Windows firewalls on PCs with nothing above the NAT on phones and tablets - I figure the less code that runs the less chance there is of hitting a bug. If it does play up I'll go to modem mode.
