Re: VM to gig BB in the UK

diodesign, this Virgin media problem as the only real cable operator in the UK, is far larger than it would seem as they dont allow you to connect any non VM CPE kit...

and are Insisting that all vm customers that take the 'VIVID 200 Gamer' option or above as per the current 300Mbit/s package, Must take the one and only 'Superhub 3.0' Compal CH7465-LG (TG2492LG) & CGNV4 etc docsis3 box, as their only option, and apparently, VM tech/managers are refusing to lift the apparent VM swap-embargo on these SH3 and take the older Superhub 2 ACs as a fix today....

while its hard to actually pin down the exact chip spec and RAM (can you confirm and add the direct url) it seems that these intel docsis Soc are far to underpowered today, and dont even include generic intel AVX SIMD instructions in 2016, and yet the totally underpowered CPU core is actually doing all the UDP/TCP packet work etc alone....

is that a BOM problem today, as in all the world's Docsis3 cable operators are trying to save pennies , where a current and up to date (Arm Cortex?) quad/octacore with DVB/sat>IP ,UHD1/UHD2 rec 2020 ,HDR compliant integrated SOC's are required today ready for 2017/2020 Docsis 3.0/3.1.
