Over the past few weeks, the power light on my hub 3 has changed from the normal solid white to solid red, which I read is supposed to indicate that it is overheating. The box is in a well-ventilated position (where it has been for many months), only slightly warm to the touch and is performing normally as regards speed etc; I tried switching it off for an hour or two and running a vacuum cleaner over it to remove any dust (although as far as I could see there was none), but to no avail. This morning I tried to contact VM by phone but was unable to get beyond the stage where I was told that the router needed a restart (it did not - I'd done that already). Could someone from VM please contact me to arrange a replacement, or does anyone know how to get through the automated tests etc to the point where I can actually speak to someone to request one, please? And is there any way for me to check whether there really is an overheating issue? I logged in and looked at status etc but couldn't find any information of that type.

Hi nh2012,
Thanks for posting and sorry to hear you've some issues with the hub.
I'd like to arrange an engineer visit, so we can take a closer look at this. If the hub does need replacing this is something the engineer will be able to do.
I just need to confirm a few details with you first of all, so I've popped you over a private message (purple envelope, top right hand corner)

Sorry but you've made the appointment for one of the times I specifically said I couldn't make. I've sent you a PM listing the suitable times.

Hi nh2012,
I can see you have spoken with one of my colleague who amended this for you.
