Hi
My internet is dropping daily sometimes a few times per day, I have to keep restarting the router to reconnect to the internet, very frustrating, the install engineer did say the signal was very high and that either himself or another engineer MAY have to come back after he had installed the router.
Trying to contact virgin customer service is beyond a joke, looks like you have to ask the community for professional advice?

Hi
Yes was told it has been resolved and then the following day started again, wasn’t informed by anyone that the appointment was cancelled and I lost a days pay 😞 by waiting in.
It looks like by reading people’s posts, that it’s a very common issue, the router disconnects. (Hub5)
Was also wondering with my service would I be able to get a free Wi-Fi pod?
thanks

Hi @jonwren
If there is an area outage impacting you, tech visits will be cancelled
I have checked our systems now and can see the outage has been resolved and you have another appointment upcoming.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi jonwren,
Thanks for coming back to us on this one and advising this. We're sorry that you weren't notified.
Usually a text message is sent to advise the appointment has been cancelled. Please ensure your contact details are up to date as this will ensure future notifications reach you.
In terms of our WiFi Max service, if you're on the 1GB or a Volt package then this will be free to add. If you're not then there would be a charge of £8 per month. You can view all there is to know about WiFi Max here.
Let us know if you have any further queries or questions.
Thanks,

Hi jonwren 👋
Thanks for confirming. If you're on a 1GB service, you would be eligible to have Wi-Fi Pods at no extra cost each month. To take advantage of the Wi-Fi Max service, you will need to use our Connect App to run a Homescan, and from there, if any blackspots or weak signals are identified, you'll be prompted to order a Wi-Fi Pod.
Cheers,

Hi @jonwren
Thanks for coming back to the thread.
Have you got any VPN's on the device? If so, please remove them and try the Connect App again.
For your Apple device, you can try this: Open Settings > Tap your name > Tap iCloud > Tap Manage Settings > Tap the Connect App > Tap Delete Data.
Try that as well.
Best wishes.
