More or less a repeat of what I posted over on the VM Help Forums .....
There would be nothing better than a really good solid cable modem for those who want one.
I can't believe VM would object to the simple business model of 2 choices;
1 - SuperHub (sic) and all the associated Helpdesk costs that go with this type of equipment.
2 - Cable Modem, no help supplied and all networking is the users responsibility. Simples.... (Nod to Seph!!)
Sometimes the simplest things in life are better
