Which model Hub do you have? If it's less than a Hub3 a replacement will be needed for digital voice. 

If you get a phone call about this, be careful that this isn't wrapped up with a contract extension or speed upgrade that you don't need. A replacement hub should not affect your contract in any way.

Hello 

We’re always looking for ways to improve your service, and we’ve noticed you’ve got one of our older Hubs. So, we’d like to offer you our Hub 4 – at no extra cost.

It’s designed to work with faster speeds, and comes with self-optimising Intelligent WiFi as standard – regularly checking your WiFi and choosing the least busy connection for you, so you can always enjoy fast and reliable WiFi around your home.

There’s no need to change your current package – we’ll simply send you the Hub in the post.

Claim yours as part of your broadband service.

If you wait here, a VM person should be able to pick this up and advise.

Hello.


The type is printed on the base sticker.  If its >10 years old it may be a "superhub" which needs changing if they are planning to move you over to the digital phone line platform.  However, they could issue you with a refurbished Hub3.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & TNT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi), Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

Yup no guarantee that the replacement hub - be it a 3 or 4 - will be new. More likely it will be a wet wiped refurb.

I cannot find my email, perhaps I had a letter?, anyway I responded and received a Hub 4 within a week.

That was back in April. I managaed to find the Yodel email.

I too had an old hub for years.

Your Virgin Media parcel is on its way to you.
