Thanks for the update...

Some providers can/will set a new hub up at there end if you call them and tell them the one they supplied has gone down.

The Super Hub arrived today
1) I set it up in Modem/Router mode and it found gave me a fresh IP address (88.12.43.123 yes its a false address for this example ). I was unable to change clone a mac address in Modem/Router mode.

2) using the same network card with same mac address i changed to Modem only mode. It gave me a new IP address. (82.27.74.139 yes its a false address for this example )

3) I then used a different mac address rebboted allin modem only mode and it gave me a new Ip address. (80.74.213.552 yes its a false address for this example )

4) i changed back to Modem/Router different network card (with new different mac address) Back came the that i got in 1) above. no matter which network card or mac address I changed i still kept getting Ip address from 1) (88.12.43.123 yes its a false address for this example )

5) going back to Modem only mode I made . Ip change number 4 and then connected a Dlink wireless router (dir 615 from virgin) as wifi. (88.123.77.42 yes its a false address for this example).

So now I'm in the same position as i was when i used old virgin modem and their wireless router, except i now get 30 download speed instead of up to 10 for £3.61 cheaper on my Virmin package.

I'm happy and the boss like the drop in costs and still no over head wires to our home. I hope this helps

Go with orange you can login and change the IP address of the router and have a reserved IP address per user account.

Al I do is have different user accounts with a text file of the last 3 digits of the IP address per user account when I login to that specific account I remember to login to the router change the IP reset the router and continue.

Really simple to do yea its a pain resetting the router each time i switch user accounts but works well!

24th has come and gone... no new ip if a reset has taken place :suspicious:

^^ hmm, interesting, not sure if this is related or not, but the time-frame seems coincindental so here it is: have xx number of IP log entries for legit ebay acct, and likewise xx number of IP log entries for stealth acct. Today was the first time ever, after re-setting router, that the SAME IP- one that had previously been used for stealth a few days prior- showed up when re-set router to use original acct.

I can update you on the IP address issue - the servers updated on 24th July.... and I never got a new IP addy - it remained the same.
I am now using expatshield before I do any surfing. it gives me a new IP addy each time.
Ive also decided to go ahead and get a dongle and shove in a cheap giffgaff (oh how I wish they would change that name, as much as I wish the Archbishop of Canterbury would trim his beard and eyebrows)..... SIM and use that - found its much easier than messing about and becoming a Puter Geek.
Cheers.

three [3] works fine, can find 3 months 3gb for around a tenner on the net, ie amazon. along with a 20 quid zte 26mb/s dongle
