If this is true then VM have a lot to answer for.

I was told by CS tech department that I had to have a Shub 3 if I was to have 300 Mb. They told me that they are not issuing Shub 2s for new customers.

In my discussions with them over connection problems I was having at the time, they acknowledged that the built-in option for modem only is a customer retention strategy. That being so, they really do need to develop Shub 3 software that allows modem only and public WiFi.
