 have reset the hub a few times nothing changed still got a red light

i asked for what price it would cost me to cancel everythink  they cam back with a price of 700 quid

    2 & 3 have you reported the problems? What was the response?

    If you read the T&C you cannot cancel without paying paying the remainder of the fees for the term of the contract. It is extremely rare to be able to cancel for the ‘poor service’ for the type of problems you have encountered without letting VM rectifying them.

        Sorry to hear the team didn't answer when you were put through to them. 

        Please do try the advice/steps above and we'll be able to assist here further should you need. 

  • Hi scouseuk 

    Welcome back to the community forums 

    Sorry to hear that you're currently unhappy with your services and wanting to leave. 

    Checking the systems we cannot see any issues with the service or your hub's specifications all look good. 

    The red LED warning can sometimes be just an error with the LED rather than an issue with the hub itself,  please can you try a 60 second pin hole reset on the router. This will revert any customisations back to factory settings and full update the router with firmware/software updates. Please do not reboot the router whilst it is completing the pin hole request. Ensure the router is in a well ventilated and open area as well. 

    Let us know if the red light still remains after this reset
