Should I keep it or get the Super Hub, any difference between the two? I have to agree to another year contract if I have the Super Hub, but can't see me leaving 100mb!

Channel bonding wont be an issue. It's the fact it only has 4 downstream locks but who knows.
the download channels will be a issue. at the moment my 100Mb uses 6 channels.

Yeah but it doesn't need to use 6 channels, its just because your network has 6 broadband downstreams activated

Yes, same with me. The date for it is a moving target

I noticed via steam download that Lincoln appears to have recieved its double speed up today. 30 -> 60. Still naff 3mbit up though :/ 5ms Ping to Coventry according to Speedtest.net which is better then the usual 15ms.

Hamg on, I must have it wrong, I've got this one:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Edit, is this one OK with 100MB?
I'm using this one on 100Mb right now - told them to keep the SH - I'll get it if I need it later. Runs fine for the time being.
I only really kept it as mine is stuck on the wall and its a faff to swap it for the new one when I don't need it. The connection ports on the SH are positioned by poooooofs!
What are the real day-to-day implications of this on the 100Mb line? I have no idea what the problem is?
EDIT - If each channel can't handle 55Mb so isn't 4 more than enough?

Had the R36 update with high hopes.
Seems range has improved but gaming is still absolutely awful on wireless. Ping is constantly hopping, like literally all the time, between 30-150. It's like it's packet loss but every ping test I do gives 0% packet loss. Idk what to do :/ playing games is pretty much impossible on the superhub, don't really want to fork out for a separate router but I will if I have no choice.

I have acquired one of these, but it doesn't seem to want to work with my virgin connection. Are these locked to specific customers or something?
I know I have it. What I said is what has happened even after the update. It's no use, the superhub is **** for gaming wirelessly.
Plugged in I get steady perfect pings. Wireless 1 metre away from the hub my ping is CONSTANTLY spiking. Literally it will not stop moving, from 30-150+ and it's so frustrating I cannot game without going on wired, I have a laptop, the hub is behind the telly. To plug it in I have to sit on a bean bag cramped up next to the telly cabinet with my mouse on the floor! Less than ideal it's ****ing ridiculous how can they send out a product which they know is absolutely dire at wireless, do they not test things before they actually send it out, or do they just go, oo it's glossy and black with blue LEDS who cares about the spec that will do because it looks nice. It's a disgrace.
