Just had my speed doubled from 50M down to 100M down, still on 5M as part of the speed doubling upgrade.
Here's what it said on "MyVirginMedia" page:-
Great news! Your new broadband speed is up and running. It's possible your current modem might be struggling to keep up though.
Some of our older modems can't give you the full speed that we've upgraded you to. If that's the case for you, we'll send you a new combined modem and router - the Virgin Media Super Hub.
If you've already had a letter from us, click below to get your new Super Hub.

Guess which modem I have? A VMNG300 and am not being forced to switch to a Super Hub and certainly not going to do it voluntarily and pay too!. I was expecting to have to change (though not looking forward to it), but it seems that this is not the case. What's going on?
I also find the text about why you might want a Super Hub for "wireless" is a bit misleading if not worse - I'm sure it should read "If you're
not going to be using a wireless connection..."
