Broadband speed reading: Speed readings were taken across a 90-day period, between August 2026 – November 2026. Speed readings only reflective of holders’ Virgin Media WiFi Hub (package) speed during the time of testing. Number of tests undertaken varies per customer. Average download and upload speeds calculated using all available speed test data. This may or may not include speed tests run during peak times. Speed tests are to the WiFi Hub only, not across the home for individual digital devices.
My comments: the hub 5 is performing slightly above its rated tier. This doesn't surprise me as although my coaxial drop cable is 21 years old and the cabinet 28 years old, I get a good clean signal from this ageing HFC network. It helps that I had the F connector at the cabinet replaced and plugged into another tap, the F connector and splitter in my home also replaced.
