I have upgraded my connection to Volt M500 and as I have O2 mobile my double data upgrade has been activated on 14/4.
So far I have heard nothing from Virgin regarding Volt Speed Upgrade. It is now more than 14 days.
I tried to contact VM over the chat but there is no answer so far...
Do I need to do something else to get this upgrade live? I've got Super Hub 3. Do I need SH4 in order to get 1GB connection?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dav25,
So I can get a few more details and go through this with you I've popped you over a private message (purple envelope, top right hand corner)

Hi @Dav25
Yes, I'm afraid you do need the hub4 and there is currently a lack of available hubs due to worldwide chip shortages so the speed upgrade can't be applied.

Thank you Dave.
VM never mentioned that when I was upgrading my previous package. So paying for something I can't get...

Hi again @Dav25
Hopefully a note has been added to your account to apply the speed upgrade once hubs are available again.
Hopefully a member of the Forum Team can pick this up in a day or two and check for you.

Thanks again Dave.
I've noticed that some of the people who posted on the forum have received Hub 4 recently. So there is a hope...

As you said Dave hopefully a member of the Forum Team can pick this up in a day or two and check for me.

I managed to get Virgin Customer service on the phone and they said my Volt speed booster should be applied within 2 days.
I have asked at least 3 -4 times if my SH3 would be able to provide 1Gb speed and I was assured that it can manage 1Gb speed? Ok... let me see that in couple days. I have a feeling that I will have again to call them and be in the queue for hours.

Hi Akua_A
I am not so confident about that chat with Virgin Customer service, but let's see. If I could wait 4 weeks I can wait another coupe of days.
They were saying SH3 is absolutely fine for 1Gb speed. Reading on here I come to the different conclusion.
