From £62 apparently. That's the standalone price which, if correct, is interesting as I don't think 500mb is available standalone?

Seems that 1Gbps is likely to be £62 a month

From the above link; "becoming available to all 15 million of their UK premises by 2021". There'll be another half a dozen above inflation price increases before then.

Does anyone know if we can all get the hub 4 without upgrading our packages as the hub 3 sucks

The upgrade to 1Gbps requires DOCSIS 3.1 which is supported only by the hub 4, so all customers wanting this speed will have their hubs replaced.

'Gig1 fibre broadband' tier listed there.

The upload speed is disappointing, but not unexpected.

They should have gone 10:1 on the gig packages

I think the upload channels are still DOCSIS 3.0.

Wonder why VM didn't update M50, now 5Mb not 3Mb?

Great to see that the Hub 4 has the "Ability to provide no routing/no NAT". Will this be as easy to convert to and back again, as with 'Modem Only mode' in Hubs 2 and 3?

I use the HUB 3 in modem mode and have an Asus RT-AC3200 Router and that works well for me.
