I am upgrading my Tivo to the latest model.

The pack includes an SH3 (I assume put in there automatically because I
still have the original SH).

Allegedly the SH maxes out at 160 Mb/sec (seems reasonable, it provides
that speed now) but the SH3 can go to 200 Mb/sec (within the package I
pay for) or even 300 Mb/sec should I feel the need to burn money.

I know that there are known issues with the Intel Puma 6 chipset in the
SH3.

Argh! Initial research has pointed me to this class action suit which
names Arris. Who make the new(ish) Virgin TV V6 box.

Murphy's law may be about to rear its ugly head.

Anyhoo - anyone running the SH3 in modem mode without any problems at
speeds up to 200 Mb/sec?

It would be interesting to know if they have fixed the modem mode issues
that were affecting their business customers - basically you can't have
(working) modem mode and static IP... Had to revert to dynamic IP for
one customer, since the Virgin "business" router is so feeble, you have
to run with a real router in front of it to get anything useful, and
then that means modem mode on the supplied one.

With regard to the router being feeble, there is an enormously long thread
on the Virgin support forum about SH3 problems.

One user posted ping statistics between his PC and the SH3 via direct
Ethernet connection and the response times were far slower than for my SH1
in modem mode.

I suggested switching to modem mode and getting a decent router. If the
SH3 can't even handle packets because it is doing it in software not
hardware then asking it to also run as a full blown router may well be a
very big ask.

No idea about the static IP thing, though.
