  • Just rang virgin who TWICE have told me the passphrase was set and couldn't be changed on my superhub 2 which I've now had for several years. I requested an upgrade but they just ran a test to see if it was secure and attempted to reassure me all was well. I said it may be secure at this moment in time it doesn't mean it will always be! I told them I had been told I couldn't change it and they now deny it's the case so I raised a complaint for them to investigate back phone calls to locate who told me this twice! So, I've been vulnerable for the best part of 2 if not 3 years! Change it at: 192.168.100.1
