Whatever happened to this ? Has it been quietly 'shelved'? |

If your hub is in modem mode is it capable of being used as a 'hotspot'? |
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
No. As previously discussed when the trial was running earlier in the year, if you go into modem mode then you're opted out of the WiFi service.
You're not a hotspot, but you also can't use the service as a broadband customer. |
Re: VM Hubs as WiFi hot spots
That's a shame, there's no reason why it couldn't still operate as a hotspot when in modem mode. Hell, if anything, it'd have extra bandwidth to play with.

Meanwhile it is now possible to upgrade to a 4G mobile phone account with Virgin Mobile, with free usage of WhatsApp.
Anything to do with the delays to Virgin WiFi domestic hot spots? http://www.4g.co.uk/virgin-mobile-4g...twork-summary/ |

Saying that, I'm confused as well, as I would have thought that this is standard knowledge. Maybe it means for those WhatsApp users who make heavy use of photo & video messages (like my mum), and so use a lot of mobile bandwidth? |

To be clear it's WhatsApp message usage that isn't counted. Video and audio calls via WhatsApp are. Same is true for Facebook Messenger.

Photo, audio and video messages are also covered. It's live audio and video that is not.

Yes you can opt out AFAIK. No doubt Ben will clarify at some time. |
