Superhub Superhub & Virgin Media Business - Page 9

The constant delays with no news is poor. I suspect that it's related to the Superhub firmware delays as the hardware will be the same on the business service, but with different firmware. I do wonder if Netgear have been so busy with the issues leading up to R30 that they are now behind schedule delivering the business version.

Someone on business sales did tell me that the August dely was because of a clash between the new business and residential service, which I find hard to imagine.

Just getting an idea if it was weeks, months or years away might be good!

Unless I'm mistaken, a VM person could SSH into the SH, turn on QoS which would then be configured against the user's stored profile (for the issued MAC address). Or have they totally blocked SSH even against the right admin credentials?

No doubt someone will corect me - but that's how I'd expect it to be. But I was aware that the 20 meg business broadband modem had different firmware (from somewhere on this forum).

The current 20 Mb/s business product doesn't use the Superhub. However the 10 & 20 Mb/s will be withdrawn from new sale soon (or maybe not!) and they will offer 30 Mb/s & 50 Mb/s business services. Both will use the same superhub hardware as the consumer version, but will make use of different firmware in essence to support L2RP tunnels which will be used in order to provide true static IP address(s) for the business service.

Thsi was all supposed to launch in May this year, which hass been delayed each month since. The current message is thay have no information on availability!

I agree about believing when I see it!

mikeey2 · 27-09-2011, 06:36

Thinking about it the word "accepting" is making me wonder when they might get round to installing it.

qasdfdsaq · 27-09-2011, 17:14

Yes but at least at that point we'll have firm details on what they are offering and pricing.

I've not been advised of the new BB tiers launching today.

Weird though how the STORE link has vanished and the subdomain is being bounced back to the main site.. So something's going on
