Dunno, I'm running the new hub and not noticed the lock-ups either. I have been told that their is very little difference between v1 and 1.5 just that its around 5% different which is quite a bit!

As for the E revision on the firmware its not supposed to have changed anything related to memory and left the bods in Hub development or whatever its officially called scratching their heads! Last I heard they were calling Thomson to find out what they had done which fixed so many of the problems customers were having.

I still get the old dns error and freezes on my original HH on E, except it now takes a lot more entries in the logs to crash it than before E. It also stays up longer, a maximum of 14 days is the record before a lock up of dns, wireless, user interface etc or a complete reboot, wow!

As I've said before the software has memory leaks. If the new shape is better due to some memory addressing changes or whatever, I may ask BT for one, but after 2 mins on the tech line I lose the will to live.

When I changed to the new style it was up for about 20 days before I had to unplug it to test a router for a friend. Since then....

Broadband connection details:
Downstream 6,976 Kbps
Upstream 448 Kbps
Connection time 26 days, 8:32:02

...It's been perfect.....no DNS lockups or failure of BB Talk service. If I was to reboot it in the morning, I could get a sync of about 7.2 Mbps but want to leave it to see how long it stays up for.

Tempting, Ill wait and see how you get on before going into the Valley of Death (aka BT support)

No offence to Newcastle intended!
