I've just had an email from Virgin to say my hub is now a hotspot...
It isn't, as it's in modem mode, but it sounds like they've rolled this out to Newcastle now, unfortunately I'm not at home to check right now.
Email below for those interested

We're writing to let you know that we're expanding the network of hotspots that Virgin Broadband customers can automatically connect to through the Virgin Media WiFi app, by adding Virgin Media Hubs, including the one in your home.
Adding Virgin Media Hubs to our WiFi network won't affect the internet connection you pay for
To add it to the network, we'll switch on a separate connection inside the Hub in your home. This means the broadband you pay for stays exclusively yours, and remains just as secure.
If you don't want the Hub you use to join our WiFi network, you can opt out. All you need to do is let us know by registering or signing in to your account here and clicking My Profile.
Kind regards,
