It is too long but nearly every BB and Phone Service is on or moving to 24 month contracts.

Got sent a Hub 5 and set it up in Modem Mode to my TP-Link Router setup this afternoon and getting nearly 340Mbps on my Toshiba Laptop via 5Ghz Wifi and the full 360 on my Desktop PC Ethernet connection with Windows 10 and also Windows 7. When I first setup I noticed I was only getting 168 Mbps on OOKLA's Speedtest and 163Mbps on Virgin's Broadband speed checker, phoned Virgin's Tech Support and they did their checks and got a Engineer call booked for Tuesday, about 2 hours later on checking the Download speeds had gone up, so might just cancel the Techie visit.

Got told by the Asian call center Guy that you can't get the full speed downloads on the M350 and above packages when in Modem mode, told him that was a load of b*****ks, I told him that 9 months ago prior to leaving VM I was getting the full M500 package on the Hub 3 in Modem Mode and the same TP-Link Router, he shut up after that.
