To dim an LED the current to the lamp must be decreased, however it's done.

As heero_yuy already said, same current, less time is the most common and cheapest way of doing it.

As I said - frippery.

SHub 2 related question on customers on lowly speeds?
(I am sure I saw a notice of intention to raise the minimum speed from 30Mb to 40Mb)
The page has now disappeared from the Virgin website, what I do recall was that this increase in speed was to be over 18month period.
This would interest both me and my eldest daughter who are on lowly 20Mb, but are not intending to suffer from the probs with the existing S Hub so would wait for the S Hub 2 to be introduced.

theres no 40meg on cable. i think you may of got confused with VM national (40gb data allowance). all 20meg customers and those on speeds below 20meg will get 30meg. the SH1 is fine. if you have any problems you can put it into modem mode linking your own choice of router.

20Mbit customers are going to 60Mbit

That's what I said in an earlier post Ben!
Could you please provide a link for 20Mb to 60Mb increase.

qasdfdsaq · 03-12-2012, 15:45

No, there was never any increase from 30 to 40. 30 was being increased to 60 (and so was 20).

the speed you get has got nothing to do with which router you use dude. Shub1 is good for 400mbits so getting shub2 isnt going to make any difference. If/when you do upgraded to 30mbit (which is what is going to happen and not 40) they will send you a shub because you need a docsis 3 capable device.

Talking about speeds though. Does anyone know/care to speculate how many channels shub2 can use and what the maximum throughput is going to be? Do we think it is a 16 channel modem?
