Hi, Stephen_L
For some reason, Gmail puts the forum reply notifications into Spam, so it was some time before I saw this. I can confirm that an engineer called on 31 Dec and found that the Superhub 5 that I was sent was faulty, He had a spare with him, he also replaced up the co-axial cable end connector for good measure. I am getting 950 to 1000 mbps on Internet speed tests. All is now good. I am very impressed with the way this has been turned around.
Your internet was down for 2 days or more? Then ask for compensation as detailed under their scheme. If your hub3 could not be reactivated and the hub5 sent was faulty, take a look here:

I'm not a compo warrior, it was back after 2 days, I got a new router, nor need to make a big fuss. All's well that ends well.
Glad to hear this.
Thank you for the update if you need anything in the near future you know where to find us.
Have a great weekend.
