    I'll be getting mine just before I leave. I've had two letters off them for excessive usage. I do almost all my downloading in their off peak times. all my download programs are on schedules and most of my downloading is done at work anyway, so at most I'm streaming two HD streams off the net which is 16mb/s. It might be faster in tests but its much more flaky than my old copper TalkTalk line.

    I don't think my modem can handle 152Mb, and I don't really want a superhub thingy, so it's not going to make much difference to me - unless my upstream is increased, in which it'll be good times.

    I've just got Virgin cable installed, and I'll go from 30Mb to 50Mb by the end of June :)

    Never had a warning letter, my previous 30 days usage has been 800gb down and 500 up.

    I've just started renting a seedbox for my torrents.

    Well I use a VPN for torrenting, but I don't torrent much at home I'd guess 5-10GB a month. The only thing I really download at home is games (steam/origin/uplay) and thats probably only 20GB a month max. I have 700MB/s internet at work so that is where most of my downloads are done. My usage is pretty much just streaming with the smart TVs.

    Just whack the superhub2 into modem mode and use your existing router.

    We should get them to change the name to terriblehub or basichub as there is NOTHING super about it.

    I will wait to see what speed I get with the existing modem; it's been completely trouble free, so I'm not keen on replacing it.

    I remember the technician moaning about people all being on the same wifi channel and how there was no way of checking which ones were congested. Then an amazed look as I run wifi analyzer on my phone and show him all the wifi networks in range, and the channels and strength of each signal. I know my look and laugh as he asked me if I wanted him to show me how the superhub worked would have been funny for most, even the technician laughed.
