What help would actually be effective? From whom would that help come?

I can see them using the original Superhub as the lower tier device for 30-60 and the new one as the device delivered with the 'premium' tiers. Just like they did with the Hub/Superhub originally. Even if its just to help ship the remaining stock.

The plan of only having one device is probably a good one, but it did not survive the battlefield and is made increasingly less relevant if a second version of the Superhub comes out only a few years after the Superhub itself graced our connections.

[SEPH]: That's not their style. Skie. Peter (ex-VM) has told you all how it'll work

[SEPH]: I don't see that as logical, I'm afraid. A laptop is fairly obsolete after three years as more powerful chipsets emerge. At minimum the SH2 is analagous. Plus lets'hope VM have learned the lessons regarding the lame SH1

It's not unprecedented. When the VMNG300 was released it was kept for the tiers that needed it only - the other tiers continued with the older D2 modems

That was a differnet DOCSIS scenario from today's, Ben.

True, but they also did it with the Wireless routers for a time - the lower tiers got a Wireless G router, the higher ones Wireless N

Sephiroth · 01-12-2012, 22:15

Again, SH1/SH2 - wireless N. Plus then the lower tiers were not DOCSIS 3.

SH1 non simultaneous band functioning. SH2 simultaneous band functioning.

???

Ok then, the Hub and SuperHub were both Wireless N and post the D3 network being available, and were still run side by side based on tier.

Now, to all intents and purposes, it's a D3 world. What we're all looking for in your responses is an actual clue as to what VM would do if it differs from Peter's view.

To be honest I have no idea what the plan is, but as I have no idea, I'm not making assumptions
