So, been on chat with an agent now for an hour, and he is Refusing to send out the Hub 5 point blank.
I have had 1GB since it was available in my area, I am also Loooong out of contract.
There Are other GB providers in my area soon, and as soon as they are, I am gone Unless they provide the Hub 5.
They said they would send an engineer but if there was no fault I'd be charged £25 !!!

II have been with VM for 2 decades now, in one name or another, Not for very much longer if they continue with this level of customer 'service' !!!

Adding insult to 'injury', their customer 'support agent' just left without a word. 

Really makes you feel wanted? Not.

VM equipment is rented, you cannot demand what you want. You are supplied with equipment adequate for you speed tier, that could be a hub4 or a hub5. Unless you are running your own router that accepts a 2.5G signal as input there is not much to be gained by having a hub5.

There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't and F people out of 10 who do not understand hexadecimal c1a2a285948293859940d9a49385a2

Good customer service is not rented, but the opinion of the company continues to go down

And I noticed that you totally ignored the fact that the agent just left, with no word as to what was happening.

What is wrong with your circuit that you need an engineer? 
Also if you are out of contract and there are other ISP’s that’s great

It's not "my agent", I don't work for VM.   This is a Community Forum and a lot of the replies are just other VM users trying to help each other.

If you wait a few days a VM member of staff will reply to you directly.

If you don't like the service, and you have alternatives, just go.

My name is NOT Alessandro. That's just a tag Virginmedia sticks on some contributors. Please ignore it.

VM will likely be forced to give out hub 5 when speed goes past 1Gb even if 1Gb now goes past 1Gb its still 1Gb ports to 1Gb speed.
