I think most of the issues relating to the SuperHub relate to its wireless capabilities. I've configured mine to not use its wireless capabilities and only use it as a wired router/modem. I've not had any problems with it in this configuration. You can totally turn off its router capabilities altogether and use a separate wireless router of your own if you so wish.
Thx for reply, I too also hear that it's just the wireless part of the hub that had issues. I am glad that you can just use the hub as a modem. Didn't know that. Gives me options.

is the Superhub that bad ?
Apart from the bit about having to wait until october. 2nd City of the Country and it will take 9+ months to flick the odd switch or upgrade the odd UBR or find some working smarthubs to post out - terrible.
Who's been lying to you ? They're doubling all speeds except 100MB.It seems to me that the people who (like me) are currently on the 20mb service will do the best from this upgrade as we are getting our speed trebled to 60mb whilst everyone else is "only" getting doubled.
Great Popcorn thread this

I think a few people are considering similar propositions? I too am thinking of downgrading in order to reduce my monthly bill, but still get slightly faster BB. One issue with this that I'm not certain about is on how this would affect contracts. Would a BB customer be obliged to sign up to a new contract or would such a deal not be subject to such obligations?

They are probably doing this becase BT have launched their 100mb FTTP and they are doubling their FTTC speeds from 40mb to 80mb
Virgin are great and 60mb would be good - but considering im paying £28.50 at the minute compared to BT would be £25. £3.50 less for an extra 20mb download and an extra 14mb upload.
Infinity checker: 39.1mb download and 10mb upload so might be worth changing once BT double them.
Wow, 10mb upload? Nice... I thought I had it good when I got bumped up to 3mb upload and 30mb download... On a positive note it's always that way compared to previous ISPs where I'd get half or less of advertised speeds...
The uploads are still 10mb and 2mb for bt infinity. I wouldnt bet on that 80mbps upgrade being free. It would probably be a contract renewal at least.I get 3Mb upload atm with Virgin. BT Infinity have raised all their customers infinity upload to 10mb.
Once they double the infinity speeds, the upload speed with e 20mb. - 14mb more than virgins 6mb once upgraded.
20mb more (80mb) than Virgins 60mb once upgraded.
All for £3.50 less, I think BT may win again
Well he seems to think that those on 20MB will be tripled to 60. This is clearly not true so either someone lied to him when he asked them or someone lied on a webpage on which he got the information.I don't see that Carlos67 (welcome to the forums mate, btw ) mentioned anything about "lying"

Quote from BBC's article on this - "Virgin Media's upgrade will mean customers currently signed up for 10Mbps will be boosted to 20Mbps, while users on 20Mbps and 30Mbps packages will both be upped to 60Mbps."Well he seems to think that those on 20MB will be tripled to 60. This is clearly not true so either someone lied to him when he asked them or someone lied on a webpage on which he got the information.
I made no mention of Carlos (great name, btw ) himself lying

FTTP from bt is £45/pm and free install. It is relatively cheap for what it is. Availability on the other hand is extremely limited.You can also bet your bottom dollar that if you want FTTP then you will have to shell out for BT to fit it and it won't be cheap.
Who's been lying to you ? They're doubling all speeds except 100MB.
