  • Minimum Guaranteed Download Speed:

    The guarantee applies to new customers that buy new broadband services, or existing customers that change their broadband service or re contract their existing broadband service on or after 28th February 2019. The guaranteed download speed is 50% of the advertised speed of our service on the date that you placed the order and is set out in the speeds table we send you. You need to keep your Virgin Media Hub plugged in, switched on and set to enable us to obtain speed information from it, which will help us to diagnose any problems. The minimum download speed guarantee does not apply to outages. If you experience an outage which affects your broadband services please contact us.

     

    What does the Minimum Guaranteed Download Speed mean?

    If the actual download speed provided from our network to your Virgin Media Hub falls below the Minimum Guaranteed Download Speed, and this happens for 3 consecutive days or more (whether continuously or intermittently during each day), and we are unable to fix the problem within 30 days of you reporting the problem to us, [[you may have the right to end your agreement without paying an Early Disconnection Fee. ]] You need to contact us if you have a speed problem via the contact us page 

  • Hi fastboy, 

    Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums. ⭐

    We're sorry to hear that you have been having an issue with your internet connection speeds. Checking things here, there are no faults in the area affecting you however it does look like your downstream power levels are out. We won't be able to fix this remotely so I would like to arrange for an engineer to come to take a look at this for you. 

    I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. Just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. 😊

    Thanks,
