Thanks David _Bn,
Yes and Yes - I have tried the pod in many different places, quite sometimes the light does go off for a short while before coming back on and staying on.
As I write 2.4 Ghz is non existent in my TV room it's difficult to get 5 Ghz on my iPhone 13 pro
I have had two visits from Virgin engineers, the most recent was last Saturday (11 March 2023) and I am waiting for a second pod but I am very close to trying TalkTalk 943 Mbps after being a Virgin customer from well before Virgin took over from NTL.
Thanks for your concern
