New contract, new hub ?

Just renewed my contract but dropped TV and phone and just have broadband which I have increased from M250 to the M500 package. Will I be sent a new router? I currently have a V3 and tests show it recieving around 549Mbps but only giving out 164Mbps WiFi.

    The Hub 3 is used for contracts up to 600Mb.   It will cope with the 500 Tier.

    Run a wired test on this site and post the results.  Run the FULL tests please, as this will show all the information.    http://www.samknows.com/realspeed

    This will show the speed VM are delivering to your Hub.  Any decrease over Wifi is up to you to resolve, as VM only guarantee 30 Mb over Wifi.  

  • This is the best I can do, off the TV as I don't have a working laptop currently. Connected directly to the hub.

      There you go.  The Hub 3 is getting the full 500 Mb Tier speeds as noted above.  Any Wifi issues will be down to the specific devices being used.

    Unless you haggle during re-negotiation then no. New customers get a HUB5 with improved WIFI 6 AX for that tier (assuming clients can use WiFi 6). Old customers keep their old kit unless it's haggled.

    The Realspeed Device figure of 91.3Mb/s means
    the TV has a 10/100 Mbit network connector.

    The 164Mb/s seen over Wi-Fi may also be the limit of the device,
    especially if this is a similar figure to what was seen when on M250.
