I've not received an email notification yet but chose October 11th for delivery.

I’ve just got the email cancelling me order… I suspect it’s due to the useless Wi-Fi pod on my account that never worked. As the hub 4 I’ve had for about two years. Would have been nice to 2Gb Ethernet port to connect to my decent router.

It's because you have a Hub 4.

Exactly I know over in the US Comcast and other cable companies let you buy your own cable modem.. I think the excuse virgin give is for support.

Most let you use your own its just they won't support it if something goes wrong. I currently have my Asus router setup with both Sky ultrafast and Virgin as the backup connection. out of contract with virgin so could leave at any stage will be once decent 5G speeds are available to me.

How long does it take to get an email notification after placing an upgrade order?

yeah when your choice is 1gig virgin or 80Mbps BT that aint gonna happen....it annoys the hell out of me that their premium users are treated like this and dumb mary with a 100Mbps connection who wouldnt know a 2.5gig port if it bit her on the arse gets the latest hub when she would easily use a hub3.....in my opinion VM are a disgrace of a company and the minute another gig provider moves into my area they won't see me for dust.....

Exactly they are doing it all wrong you'd think they would supply the latest most powerful equipment to power users who have the Gigabit broadband rather than people who probably don't need it as they do simple things like go on Facebook or do their shopping online.

I am on 200 meg but play PC VR on my Meta Quest and it connects to the PC over WiFi and is Wifi 6 enabled so that is my use for the 5 over the 3
