No it isn't, but there should be a Hub 4 that's been scheduled for sending out.

Yes, the router is capable of 1GB speeds to the Router. RealSpeed - SamKnows
The SamKnows built in test will show the speed into the Router from VM's broadband circuit.
EDIT - D'oh, only noticed reference to Hub 3 .....

Should be fine but run a speed test to make sure, the ports on a hub 4 are 1 gig so the max you will get is 970ish

Hi james1986123
Let us know the outcome of the tests once you've installed the Hub, maybe worth using SamKnows to run the tests.
