Hub 5

Contact Virgin and get them to send you a Hub 5. They're much better than the woeful Hub 3/4s. The Hub 5s are WiFi 6, newer standard. They're actually pretty decent. Even if you end up using the Hub 5 as just a modem it will be superior, better chipset without the bufferbloat latency issues the Hub 3 suffers from.

When I was with virgin on their gigabit package I got the hub 5, have you tried that? I live in a large 7 bed house and the coverage and speed was actually impressive.

I think that plan is 1100mbit for most people, I'm on coax with the 500mbit + o2 volt to get the 1gbit package. On 1gbit I get around 880 to the early 900s. On my 10gbit setup it's 1100mbps+. If you're running 1gbe only then the virgin hub with a separate ap should be good enough.

What’s your router? I’ve found the Hub 5 to be an unbelievable step up from the 3
