Problems ordering wifi pods

Hi I have downloaded the virgin connect app as I'm struggling to get good reception in kids bedroom and living room I'm only getting 5mb speeds so it suggested I order a WiFi pod I currently have the hub 5 and I'm on gig1 speeds and volt so it says these pods should be free? But everytime I go to order on the app like it recommends I just go round in a loop and it won't let me order them can someone please help 😭

Re: Problems ordering wifi pods

Hi @Rich29583 

You need to use the Connect app to perform the Home Scan in the area where the signal is low(est) .

The app should fine tune your connection and make it stronger in your various rooms and then if you meet the criteria order a pod for you.

(The app needs to show you get download speeds under 20Mbps to be able to order the pod )

Please try following the instructions <<< here >>> 

If that doesn't work  you can also try calling 0800 064 3850 to order a pod (they will only send out one at a time, and there must be an interval of at least one week before a second order will be accepted)

Call around 8am if possible when lines first open and are least busy.

They are free if you are on the Gig1 package, or Ultimate Oomph, or on a Volt bundle, however if you are on any other package then they are £8  a month.
