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.My googling suggests that a superhub or hub 5 can be switched to 'modem only' mode but I've got a hub 6 which doesn't have that option.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.
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 https://tunnelbroker.net/
