My googling suggests that a superhub or hub 5 can be switched to 'modem

Virgin Media: Virgin Media is the largest cable broadband provider
in the UK, operating its own network separate from Openreach's
infrastructure. Virgin Media's network is based on Hybrid
Fibre-Coaxial (HFC) technology, which delivers high-speed internet
using a combination of fiber-optic and coaxial cables. Virgin Media
is not obligated to provide wholesale access to its network, meaning
customers can only access services directly from Virgin Media.
Looks like you have HFC service. In itself that's good, but Virgin don't
let anyone else on their HFC network which is bad. Worse is that they
don't use an industry standard modem such as an Arris unit. Instead they
use a proprietary NTD and router in the same box.
Your only option seems to be to sign up with some external IPv6
provider. This service (I've never used it so beware) says it gives you
ipv6 etc for free. What their business model is I'm not sure
