I agree but this is an increasing problem as all my sons friends are having the same thing happen to them. When I phoned VM they put me through to another unit called the Gadget helpline who wanted to charge me a premium to fix my problem. Surely if a fix exists why wouldn't VM help me at first call.
So the scenario is if I can obtain a family's IP address I can vindictively take them down at my leisure as often and for as long as I like. This seriously needs looking at. And if all the people who are having my problem shead the original IP to prevent the attack there are going to be an awful lot of vulnerable reassigned IP addresses.

Can anyone recommend a decent router for around £160 that works with Superhub 2 in Modem mode? I've seen some routers have built in VPN is that as good as paying monthly for one?
