Just a quick update. Retentions rang me and offered me a Tivo box instead of my clunky V+ box and said they would replace the superhub. I declined, I had made my mind up.

The internet has been up and down like a fiddlers elbow since my OP, last Friday nil internet for a large portion of the day they did some tests and the power reading from the box was ten times what it should be (this problem has been historical).

I have just had BT Infinity installed today, I am getting 37 mb download speed 1.85mb upload. Perfect wireless reception in all corners of the house (big old house) - something the superhub never achieved.

I am 1800 metres from the main exchange but about 200 metres from the new BT cabinet.

It all seems very stable so after 12 years its goodbye Virgin (for the next 18 months at least). If I have any problems however I will pop back and post, it will be interesting to see how things pan out with BT.
