    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)

    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
