The SH3/Hub3 is an Arris TG2492LG hub though. It's only used for domestic broadband currently, as far as I'm aware.

If I wanted to upgrade from 50MB to 100MB or 200MB speeds would I not get a new/different hub?

Yes, definitely for the 100+ speeds. Don't know about 50-100Mb. The SH1 should be capable of 50/100Mb fine, as it has been well tested in this regard on domestic broadband. You'll have to wait and see what the VMB site says once updated.
For higher speeds it'll be the Hitron though, not the SH3. The Hitron is comparable in spec to the SH3 but has more suitable LED's and ports for business (USB port). I have it running 300Mb business broadband.

All LG regions are using the same device though, so adding another device, manufacturer and firmware in the mix just for VM UK wouldn't make sense.
The hubs need to be future proof and compatible with Docsis 3.1 going forward, so using an older hub of less spec just to reduce the timescale by a few months would that really make sense?
