Are Virgin pushing out router software updates?

We've just had an outage on our Virgin broadband, and I logged into my router to check things out.

I then powered it off for a few minutes and back on again, and the layout of the GUI had changed.

I'm wondering if there has been a software update?

Thanks - we had some ructions with the kids (really important!) gameplay being interrupted!

I started with my Super Hub on R30 firmware, then it got upgraded to R36 (with a different GUI, and the router stats now produced via a button at the top right of the home page, and not via "Advanced Settings"). Yesterday I found that the firmware had reverted to R30. (No, I don't know what they're playing at...!)

But 30 Mbps for no extra charge is better than the "original" 10 Mbps...

Addendum a day later: the firmware on the cable modem has now returned to R36! Ho-hum.

I now have R36 with the new GUI, which wasn't there a couple of days ago. My broadband did go down for a few minutes yesterday about 8.30pm so maybe that was the update coming through.

Mine was really slow after the upgrade. When I looked in the MTU setting page it was like 20. I reset it to 1494 and its fine again.

One of my kids complained that it has been really slow.
I think I'll power cycle it and see what happens.
