From £62 apparently. That's the standalone price which, if correct, is interesting as I don't think 500mb is available standalone?

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

Seems that 1Gbps is likely to be £62 a month

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

From the above link; "becoming available to all 15 million of their UK premises by 2021". There'll be another half a dozen above inflation price increases before then.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

Does anyone know if we can all get the hub 4 without upgrading our packages as the hub 3 sucks

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

The upgrade to 1Gbps requires DOCSIS 3.1 which is supported only by the hub 4, so all customers wanting this speed will have their hubs replaced.

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

The upload speed is disappointing, but not unexpected.

They should have gone 10:1 on the gig packages

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

I think the upload channels are still DOCSIS 3.0.

Wonder why VM didn't update M50, now 5Mb not 3Mb?

Great to see that the Hub 4 has the "Ability to provide no routing/no NAT". Will this be as easy to convert to and back again, as with 'Modem Only mode' in Hubs 2 and 3?

Re: VM Upload Speed Increases

I use the HUB 3 in modem mode and have an Asus RT-AC3200 Router and that works well for me.
