New 1GB broadband which Hub do I get?

[Kam12]

Hi all,

I have just signed up as a new customer to 1GB broadband, is there any way that I can check If I will receive the hub 5? And as I have had a hub 4 in the past and had nothing but trouble.

Unfortunately both the Hub 4 and 5 are the current Hub's for 1Gb.  Pot luck which will turn up.

All hubs are nothing but trouble in router mode use modem mode

But remember you'll lose some bandwidth with the HUB 4 in modem mode since it uses gigabit ethernet ports (So around 900 - 940Mbps rather than 1130Mbps).

I may cancel if they send me out a hub 4 as I would like the hub 5.

Everyone wants a Hub 5 until they can't get it working with their
IoTs / Wi-Fi Printers / 10 Mb/s Heating System / 2.5 Gb/s Unmanaged Switch !

@Client62   Very well put, made me smile  🙂

I just want a hub5 for modem mode and its 2.5Gb because I'm not planning to go any where and be on Docsis till its dying days and have to hope they put modem mode for fibre.

Are there any virginmedia mods on here that we can message direct?

It can take several days for a reply on here. Bumping doesn't help FYI.
