plusnet branded 585v7 ... any firmware upgrade available?

[#1]

I've been on the bundled firmware (7.4.4.7?) for ages.  This box is a flakey as a Cadbury's advert for me, if I use both wireless and upnp.
There are newer non-plusnet versions of the technicolor/thomson/whatever firmware out there that are more stable.  Is it likely plusnet will release a newer version for this box, or will we have to sneak off to strange foreign sites to get a stable box?
Thanks!

There are some alternative Plusnet branded firmware options available, take a look at the article here: http://community.plus.net/library/hardware/how-to-upgradedowngrade-the-firmware-on-the-thomson-585v7...

Thanks Chris.  That's exactly what I wanted.
Not sure I get the hang of the release numbers tho.  is 8.2.6.5 newer or older than 8.2.26.0?
