Both did but the HUB 4 was powerful enough they did a band aid fix via FW and moved some of the load to the WIFI CPU, not ideal but makes the BQM graphs prettier.
I did state the SHUB2ac was the best but the HUB5 in the VM forum has had more complaints that the HUB3 and HUB4 (I have had both).
The poor sods who got it first were not beta testers and did not know it was basically one when they got invite emails.
My HUB4+1 SuperPod gets me 600+Mb/s anywhere in the home bar the bathroom and that is about max on the HUB 4 WIFI 5 ac Wireless, would need be 20/40/80/ 160 to get higher on ac.
I assume the large shower cabinets metal frame blocks it same as Bluetooth and I do not need a phone to shit.

Re: Rollout of the HUB5
Yes, the wording of that "invite" was poor to say the very least.

Re: Rollout of the HUB5
Is there a new generation of the WiFi Pods for the Hub 5?
I can't seem to get mine working that I got when I upgraded to Gig1 earlier this year along with the Hub 4.
EDIT: model I have is SP01-VM

Are they still hassling you ? they should be able to see it tracked as sent as they paid the courier. If they hassle call em and tell them the tracking number they can not argue with that. Once it is out of your hands it is the couriers responsibility as far as I see it and VM chose Yodel so their fault its a crap service. RM do a 2KG pick up for less now

Re: Rollout of the HUB5
I don't know what all the fuss is about, surely everyone got proof of postage? Anything else is out of your hands.

Well hopefully a receipt with a tracking code is good enough, but this is VM we're talking about and if they charge me when the Hub3 is enroute still I won't be happy as it will be a hassle to sort out I suspect.
They last sent me an email saying please return the Hub on 20th, I took to a collection point 12 days ago on the 24th.

If they try and charge me I will just pull it back with the DD guarantee

Its not so much hassle its more an annoyance at the constant text messages and an email asking for it back when it has been sent back.
