Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
You can indeed opt out of your Hub being used at as hotspot, but if you do then as a broadband customer you can't use the VM WiFi hotspots anywhere else.

Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
hmm will opt out of that as i use it as a modem only

Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
So if you choose to use your SH in modem mode then you are blocked from using their WiFi hotspots ?

Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
It's more of a quid pro quo.
Otherwise you'd get the benefit of other Virgin Media customers sharing via their Hubs, whilst not contributing to the network coverage with your own. |
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
Its not my fault VM are incapable of doing this when you are in modem mode.

I would be more than happy to allow my hub to be a hotspot, but not at the cost of modem mode. |

Actually I should say it's pretty much cabbaged at the moment, works but I can't turn router mode on or change any settings as it just dies and has to be factory reset. Which just puts it back to modem + wifi mode. Joy. |
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
So whatever happened to this? Is is still 'coming soon'?
|
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
The rollout has started. There are now some areas where the Hub network is available, and more areas will be added over the next few months.

Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
Just to keep some facts in view:
1. Public WiFi from your Hub uses the 2.4GHz band only. 2. Public WiFi from your Hub will contend with your WiFi use as the frequency is the same. 3. Public WiFi from your Hub is not part of your service profile. |
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
Ben can you comment on which areas are live?
Also, if we're in modem mode, do we still get access to other customers' hubs? |

I'm not wanting to deal with the crap that would follow if someone on the "Public" side decided to access something they shouldn't. |

Something amazing is starting We want you to connect to Virgin Media WiFi in as many areas of the UK as possible, so we’re expanding our service by adding Virgin Media Hubs to the network. We’re adding hundreds of thousands of Hubs 3.0s to our growing network, helping you connect to WiFi in even more places. There are more Hub 3.0s to come, and we’re continuing with a pilot of the Super Hub 2ac. We’re planning to complete the rollout of our service later this year. Find out more, including which areas are covered and how to opt out. Where have Hubs been added to the Virgin Media network so far? So far we’ve added Hub 3.0s to the network in Basildon, Southend, Gillingham, Cambridge, the Cotswolds, Epping, Loughton, Glenrothes, South Herts and Watford, and West Sussex. Areas where Hubs are part of the network are indicated by pink circles on the map in the Virgin Media WiFi app. |
