The Super Hub is now superb...trust me on that. You will get a new Super Hub 'free' before your upgrade. It just does away with the old separate modem and router. It's great and looks nice too. There is no new contract to sign either.

That's interesting. I wonder if mine needs a firmware update (don't they get pushed to the devices?).

Even in modem mode mine gets stupidly hot and has to be rebooted every so often.

Thankfully it doesn't cause me too much grief as the router falls over to ADSL, that is until I go to use the VPN from elsewhere as the BT line has such poor uplink.

To be fair it's not a bad bit of kit for home use but I really wish they would offer a basic modem.

I have a superhub and get a constant 136mb, had the occasional problem with the wireless side of the hub but that appears to be ok now.

I have a superhub and can honestly say I've had no problems with the kit at all. I lost service the other night for about 20 minutes, but to be fair that was at 1 in the morning and assumed it was preparing for the upgrade. Most people round here are usually well asleep by then.

I have two laptops and the SGS2 on wireless no problems at all.

Usually I steer clear of Netgear kit as it does seem to be little more than toys for children. Superhub is the exception to the rule on this.

In short the Ambit 255/256 modems can't go above about 38mbits at the very best on a docsys network as mostly run by VM. The standard Netgear wirless router can't go above 24mbits either. So you would need new gear. The Super Hub is now superb...trust me on that. You will get a new Super Hub 'free' before your upgrade. It just does away with the old separate modem and router.

I think the no contract is due to something that the telecoms co would like hushed up = rolling contracts. Outlawed now, but till recently if you didn't challenge charges before the end of contract, the contract had a clause that you caried on for another period, or pay to get out of it.
