The first time I phoned 150 I was told I could get a hub for £20, the second time they said £75 plus £20 per month, this is not an option for me so my question is Can I purchase my own hub from somewhere else and will it work or do Virgin Media give you routers?

You cannot purchase ANY virgin media equipment - Modems or Set Top Boxes, this is always the property of Virgin themselves (even when you pay for an upgrade, Virgin still owns the equipment).
However, you can (And many would recommend you do, even if you do have a superhub) buy your own router. Virgin used to supply these but don't any more. Belkin isn't a very good brand so it wouldn't surprise me if it was causing you issues.
