Wat? the 255 was the best modem I ever had. I only got a superhub in order to get 30mbit. If I hadn't wanted 30mbit, I would still have my 255.

I don't want my ISP to be responsible for my security. I don't trust them enough. My security is defined by me, making only me responsible for it. I have a commercial (paid for) antivirus software on all my windows PC's (2 of them), with a commercial firewall as part of the package.

My linux machines arun iptables and have all un-needed services turned off.

I personally think my own security runs rings around that provided by the superhub.

I'm not talking about that. I'm on about VMs network security.

Thanks for the replies. I'm on the 10Mb M broadband so I suppose I'll be ok with my existing modem.

Does this mean it'll have to be upgraded

You will get the automatic double speed from 10 > 20 with your existing modem.

Any further upgrades will be on request and will require a SuperHub
