The vmng300 firmware is becoming obsolete, but the hardware is far from it

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Yeah its simply a case VM have chose to stop supporting the device hence no new firmware. I find peters argument flawed because the cost of fixing the superhub firmware is more then likely a lot more money than simply making a firmware to add 4 DS channels. VM made a business decision to simplify the kit customers have (dumb it down), I doubt it had anything to do with the vmng300 been incapable, the dir615 probably had a bigger factor as that only has 100mbit ports. I also expect cost came into it as well and netgear probably gave them a good price for the superhub vs a gigabit dlink router and the vmng300 combination.

see i dnt get hwy virign wqanted to supply router in the first place they are supplyinga conenction if a cusotmer wants wirelss they buy it

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

I can't believe that after spending the last year defending the superhub you are now beating up the vmng300. It kicks ass over the shub and despite Ben's previous assertions that VM also had probms with it, it has been perfect compared to the numerous issues with the shub and the time it has (still is) taking to resolve them.

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Mr Bolt tells me I won't be getting 20M until July 2013, so I can't see VM giving me 30M by the end of 2012.

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Mr Bolt also tells you his name is Richard Branson.

I wonder if, if VM get pulled up for this campaign and not meeting targets, they'll claim the entire thing was clearly "not meant to be believed".

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

As far as the company is concerned it is obsolete and they will endeavour to replace them on sight and writ no firmware upgrades for them.

They should never have gone down the route of buying either the VMNG300 or the Superhub, they should have bought from the suppliers of the CMTS they are using it makes more sense than buying 2 cobbled together devices with a Virgin Media logo on them.

Both devices do the job they were bought to do but the VMNG300 does not have 8 downstreams and no one is going to do anything about that and the Superhub does work fine as a modem and in most cases it does works fine as a wireless router, but both devices are not something anyone would buy to have as their Flagship device unless they were very drunk at the time.

I dont get that advert.

We all know VM like to mislead.

But I am truly shocked they done an advert with a guy lying about his name.

Now that last point I do agree with, always a good idea to use the same vendor both ends of the connection. So cisco modems with cisco UBR's.

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

I have posted the same as above on numerous occasions it is really a no brainer unless you really need to save a couple of pound or feel the need to have your own logo on the device.:rolleyes:;)

Ring retentions and ask them

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Why they will not know that as it is something they have no need to know, if you have put your postcode in then that is the date.:rolleyes:

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Why? They will say anything

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Time will tell

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

Lets hope you can come back here at the end of the year and say 'I TOLD YOU SO'!!!

Although I am not sure just what I am going to do with the extra 10M (or 20)
10M is plenty for me.

Re: 30M minimum by end of 2012
 

That you are wrong, we already know that so nothing new.:rolleyes:
