Hello

I presently have a Hub 3 modem/router and 3 white wi fi pods

Thanks in advance for any information supplied

    1) You would be supplied a replacement VM Hub 4 or 5.

    2) The 3 current pods are retained and re-paired with the replacement Hub.

    If re-pairing is not done automatically, call the Activation team on 0800 953 9500
    request the 3 pods are re-paired to the new Hub & you will be back in business.

      I was under the belief that you would need new (black) pods for the faster speed as well as a new Hub 4 or 5 modem/router or am I incorrect?

        If you need a pod jonasimmons, we would be happy to send you one for sure.

        It doesn't matter what colour pod you get, we can't guarantee which one you would get. 

        I can my colleague has helped you though.

        Pods are also free on 1GB or Volt packages otherwise they are £8 per month.

    A mistaken belief.

    M500 is about 100 times the speed needed for a Full HD Netflx film. Will Gig 1 make any difference ?
