So I have been a customer for over 20 years
last year we upgraded from 500 mb to 1gb and given a hub 4 and had nothing but problems with it can’t get full speed Sam knows says we only getting 300 which is less than before speeds are up and down wired or Wi-Fi so we getting less than before
we have contacted executive team who looked into it we had 4 new hub 4 same problem slower speeds and cuts us of all through out the day
we had 5 engineers and area manager all have said we need the hub 5 but can’t supply it at the time as shortage that was 8 months ago
we was told on your social media no shortage now and can see all new customers who sign up 1 gb get hub 5 but after calling again today we told no hub 5 available but convenient we asked if we want to a better deal ie a new contract first
so far we had 4 new hubs rewired new cable placed inside new cable installed from pavement to house and no difference I have also tried borrowing a router from a friend hun 5 bypassing your hub and guess what everything works and full speeds so it’s definitely a hub 4 issue so how can I get my hub 5 because at present contract runs out may and I will be leaving after 20 plus years if not sorted I not going to be pushed into a new deal ie new contract when you can’t even sort this problem out

Did they really say that the Hub5 would fix the dropouts? Really?

The hub4 is capable of close to 1gb so you either have a faulty hub or something is faulty with your connection.

Had 4 hub 4 keeps disconnecting all through the day had everything else changed it’s only started since hub 4 and as I got 1 gb I should be entitled to hub 5

In your very first post you said
"So far we had 4 new hubs rewired new cable placed inside new cable installed from pavement to house and no difference I have also tried borrowing a router from a friend hun 5 bypassing your hub and guess what everything works and full speeds so it’s definitely a hub 4 issue "
Then you said you replaced the Hub with a TPlink.
Both of which are quite impossible.
I'm sorry but it's difficult to understand/believe anything you say.
Instead of all this nonsense, why don't you just speak to Retentions and tell them you won't renew in April unless they send you a Hub5?
Job done!

I will be end of next month but Virgin told me to come here to get help with getting a hun 5
as I said I replaced hun 4 with router to link meaning hub 4 in modem mode and I also replaced hub 4 ie took out hub for and treid hub 5 which was friends one and worked not sure which part u don’t understand and it’s not impossible
