it says on the VM site that the dudley hub is now able to run 100mb but when i use my postcode to check if i can receive it, it still says only 50mb.

do any vm techs know? difficult to phone up at moment as working 7am-7:30pm this week

100mb is now available for myself.

I'm currently using 200mbps Homeplugs. will these still be acceptable for 100mb speeds?

Also, with regard to a new router as don't want to use VM's HUB (unleess things have improved dramatically) what could people recommend as an alternative.
