I do have some bad news for you, the superhubs are ****
Dropping connection, random reboots, the wireless range isn't great either.
At one point I was almost considering disabling it's wireless and connecting the thing via Ethernet into my own router.

What's the upload speed on 100mb, is it still 5mb? I should be getting mine in July. Virgin have recently updated their traffic management policy though.

have to disagree there. mine has been faultless from the day and hour it was installed. Do you have the latest R30 firmware?

depends on whether your upload speed has been upgraded. it should be 100/10. traffic is managed for torrents/newsgroups only. just schedule your downloads for after 11pm

Upload is normally 5mb, the ping was probable affected by me downloading a install file at the same time.
Been getting stuff from newsgroups at 108mb today
I normally get 12ms ping

download speed is less important, you'll soon run out of space to save things. it's the upload speed that you need to be high so you can stream things from home to remote locations like work etc...
BT 80MB download and 20MB upload is what you want

ok.. that just takes the ****... lol
I live so far out in the sticks, we run 2 x adsl 8000's, each no more than 2.8mbit. Line length is about 6km. We then bond them so get about 5.4mbit ish after overheads etc.
Done everything bar solder the bt lines direct to the adsl modem board, to get a good signal. lol.
