    VM are betting their hub with no modem mode will do fine which it can't. So you end up with a limited hub router mode that is useless.

    Its as bad as paying for £100000 car then given a £1000 car that looks completely different  and VM say it get you from A to B.

    If anything VM should reduce the cost for anyone on xgs pon

    The questions are : 

    1) Is VM XGS-PON available in your street ?    (Have you seen it being installed)

    2) Will VM move you from DOCSIS to XGS-PON ?    (Assume NO ! No one has done that so far)

    3) Do you ever wish to use Modem mode ? (VM Hub 5x does not and now we know will never have Modem mode)
