Need WiFi pods

Hi, can someone from Virgin Media please help? We recently got the Gig1 fibre. We moved from BT where we had 2 additional WiFi discs and this covered our entire home very well. The Virgin Media Hub 5 signal is weak in bedrooms upstairs. So I really need VM to send me some WiFi pods. I did a test with the Connect app and I’m barely getting 10 Mbps, and the connection would intermittently disconnect. I would ideally like 2 pods like we had with BT as the house is big. Thank you 🙏

  • Hi teacher555 

    Welcome to the Community Forums 

    Sorry to hear of your WiFi coverage concerns. 

    Have you attempted to order the pods through the Connect App after running the test that shows below the speed guarantee? If so, can you advise where in the process it fails for you on your side?

    You can also run checks over Sam Knows here that can also show speed test results at the router and the devices whether over WiFi or a wired connection.

      Hi Carley, I did not see anywhere in the Connect app from where I could order a pod. I tried looking everywhere. All I can see is a ‘Learn more’ button at the bottom of the result page, and then it just says ‘call us or login to your VM account to order a pod’.

        Sorry to hear this teacher555.

        However I can see you've spoken to the team since this post, did they manage to help at all?
