Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

I think being an improvement over the hub3 is a low bar. The chipset in it can only be a significant improvement over the Puma chipset which was never really fixed. It's a different OEM as well. I'd bite someones hand off for one as my 1 day old hub4 has already proven itself to be trash.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Same here had hub 4 over a week and the so called free speed boost from 350 to 500 I'm still only getting 360 to 370 at best even though I've checked the configuration file and does say I'm on 500, be interested to know if they are various configuration files so those that are on none volt bundles get true 500 and those that are on volt bundles are capped.

Just a thought

I’m on Volt, and I’m getting constant 530Mb/s+ on my (upgraded from 350) BB (on a Hub3).

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Did anybody else manage to order a hub 5 through the link what was posted but removed sharpish by the mods hopefully mine arrives in 2 weeks

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

I ordered one but via an email sent to me direct. I am guessing that if the Hub 5 is worse than my current Hub 3 (in modem mode), I can reinstate the old one? Does anyone know if this is an option? Hopefully this will not be needed.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Makes things awkward for me I was considering VM again, as VDSL is feeling very dated, and now I know about the hub 5, especially that it can help in congested areas and the puma chipset has been ditched I would for sure want one.

I can imagine a new customer signing up has a little leverage but not enough when a sales rep will just say the hub 5 doesnt exist.

The problem with invite only trials is stock ends up going to people who are not the ones who most want it.

My question is how long do new hubs take to get from public trials to rollout?

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Even when it's released there is no guarantee you can request one. Outside of targeted offers or due to a recognised fault, a standalone Hub swap hasn't been available for years.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Any updates on the BQMs? Like pulling teeth trying to get a nice view on how the hub is looking from those that got it

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Someone posted theirs a week or so ago and it looked like most other VM graphs.

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

It had some spikey bits that I wanted to see if it has calmed at all

Re: Hub 5 at no extra cost
 

Just been offered one of these by email so taken the offer.
