It's not immediate concern, though If I decide to make return to desktop purchase it would have been nice to add Ax Dongle in addition to xps+m.2 laptops.
VM said "If you already have a Hub 4 router, we wouldn't currently be able to offer a hub 5 swap, this is because the current hub is more than sufficient for the speed you have currently."
erm, its not would be my answer back to VM, the WIFI on HUB4 is not as fast as someone else paying for GIG1 and getting a HUB5 as it has AX WIFI (v6) which is faster than AC (v5) would be my answer. Additionally, the GIG1 tier is over provisioned at 1230mbps (if signals are correct at the hub) and that offers opportunity of 2.5gbps WAN port to your own router which may also have 2.5 gbps LAN ports or better. They sell as GIG1, but with TCP/IP overheads, the maximum on 1gbps port would be 940mbps and still short of standard GIG1. With 2.5gbps ports, that goes away and somewhere around 1200 is possible on a good VM network segment that is not over utilised.
VM don't care about wifi or that 1Gb can go faster on 1Gb package the way they see it is 1Gb ports 1Gb package that will do said the monkey.🤑
