Somehow a device that actually contains no intentionally designed antennas actually produces a better wireless signal than the Superhub 1

A piece of tin foil would produce a better wireless signal than the SH1!.

Quite a few countries call that a Stiffy, only the older 8 or 5.25" disks are called floppies

I'm from a country where a "Stiffy" means something quite different!

The 5¼" is definitely a "floppy". Lol double lol.

What is the meaning of a "Stiffy" from the country that you are from?

All the important main chat floods the trial forums.
I don't think you understand the rules of the trial, even if you have been on one before. Posting 'experiential' info like timings and setup is also prohibited. In fact any knowledge that is gained via the trial.

VM Ireland has publicly stated on their forum they're trialling Compal.
UPC Poland is also using Compal.
And I know some others too..

Who implied VM (UK) are publicly trialling different hardware? Not me. I think someone got confused along the line there.

Maybe those of us that they've forgotten about will eventually get to trial a super powerful Cisco built device.

I sigh sometimes, especially with VM customers.

Not only are they content with "willy waving" but occaisonally they do the same with a "stiiffy!", THEN you have to explain it to another VM customer!

I hope Ken understands now.

Is suicide still an option?

Having been on several VM trials in the past and, since then, several BT ones, I have not seen anything in this thread that would breach the NDA that the testers have agreed to.

If you think otherwise then this is not the place to post your opinion, if you are unable to post in the correct place (VM's)trial forum) then you are not in a position to comment IMHO.
