I have, I shown the engineer when he came to look at the HUB5. he said its being reported to Networks or something like that.

Hmm, bit tricky. They are older and wont have a clue. Do all VM speeds have 4 upstream channels?

Re: HUB 5 High latency since install
I believe all VM have atleast 4, sometimes 5 and 6.

Thanks for this information. I appreciate all your help. I'll update the thread when I get more feedback from VM.

If you login to the My Virginmedia app and click on 'Status' it may tell you if there is an issue in your area.

Re: HUB 5 High latency since install
Just to update the thread, another VM technician came out today. He checked and could only see one upstream on his phone. Took my Hub3 to the cabinet across the road and confirmed that at the cab there was only one upstream too. He said "Networks" would come out tomorrow and fix.
Do you think this is why the HUB5 was acting up, especially as it wasn't reporting the upload channels at all?

Yes - the technician did an even better thing than asking the neighbours! The entire locality was/is suffering the same upstream impairment.
The upstream is modulated at 64QAM because the frequency range is prone to noise ingress. So, for the last 8 or so years, everyone had 4 bonded channels to give everyone a chance to get something out of the upstream.
Now VM is introducing a later version of the transmission protocol. The 4 upstream channels use the DOCSIS 3.0 protocol and they're expanding that to 5 channels. The later version is DOCSIS 3.1 which, although operating in the same frequency range, is 'clever' enough to be more noise tolerant than DOCSIS 3.0. DOCSIS 3.1 is the precursor to higher upstream speeds, like 100 or 200 meg.
HTH.

It's a shame you got rid of the Hub 5, not sure if you could easily get it back.

To be honest I never trust this as Virgin doesn't always update it.
I've seen me having issues for a few days and this was never updated even though it was an area issue with others with the same issues.

Re: HUB 5 High latency since install
It may still be associated with your account. So try it.

I don't think it is. The technician had on his phone a list of devices associated with my account and the Hub3 was showing, not the 5. Will wait to see if the above issue gets fixed then do the swap over.
Will update the thread when it happens.

Re: HUB 5 High latency since install
It'll be on your account, but not have any services assigned. If you want to start using it you'll need to get VM to move the services from the other hub

Re: HUB 5 High latency since install
Still not fixed. Do VM have a timescale that they have to fix issues like this in?
Am I also in contention for compensation seeing as I'm not getting full upload?
