Hello Virgin Family.
Had an installation of my new broadband service a couple days ago (speed up to 200), but after a few days realised that the speed is good (as promised) in living room and room above loving room, but other half of the house is suffering from very poor signal. So need to get more cable to move the Hub 3.0 to the middle of the house. As far I know, this type of cable isn't possible to buy online. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

VM's cabling forms part of their network and you'll need a VM engineer visit to amend or extend this. Normally there's a £25 charge for such visits (which is of itself extremely reasonable), but you may get this waived if it's considered part of the install.
You may want to look at alternative WiFi-solutions though, or using your own router. I'll ping @jbrennand who's normally quite good with this sort of thing.

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Community Forums, truf777,
Both japitts and jbrennand's suggestions are valid. If you would like us to help with hub relocation, let us know and we can help with that.
Cheers,
