Actually their older VMNG300 modem managed the 50mbit service fine -
they appear to want everyone on the same kit to make support 'easier'.
They swapped mine out for a superhub as standard practice. I run my
superhub in modem-mode, with a NetGear WNR3500L router (running Tomato
firmware) taking care of wireless/firewall duties. From the volume of
postings in the VM forums the superhub is/was not well liked,
particularly before they introduced new firmware that just turned it
into a glorified modem. (with very bright, very annoying LEDs)
