GIG1 hub 5 not getting nearly as much Mbps as promised

So I recently swapped to GIG1 and was sent a hub 5 on Tuesday. After setting it up I did a samknows speed test and saw that the router was only receiving anywhere from 30-40 Mbps.

After calling virgin media they said to give it time to kick in but it is now just about to turn Friday and there is no improvement at all. 

So I was curious if anyone had any info on this

  • Try a 60 second pinhole reset of the hub with no ethernet connection. Failing that call it in again.

      Okay so this might come across as a dumb question but like where did they put the pinhole reset on the hub 5 cause like on my old hub I can clearly see it but on the hub 5 its no where to be found

        Nvm I found it as its now on the bottom of the hub

  • Well after doing the reset nothing has changed so hopefully when ever I next get into contact with virgin they will have more answers.

    The 28.4 Mb/s Downstream to the Hub is a service problem in the VM Network serving your street.

    If you look in the Downstream status tab there may be a clue of the nature of the fault.

    Call automated number 0800 561 0061 to see if this is a known issue for your street.
