Hi there, we've connected our router through a random wall cable, however, upon further research we apparently should have a virgin media wall socket as the last homeowners had virgin media installed, but after checking the house, there isn't any. I've checked outside and found two virgin media boxes, however, our side is empty and runs through the neighbours house?
Anyways, we are able to connect to the internet but the speeds and connectivity are abysmal, I'm disconnecting multiple times an hour, and the speeds are shocking and inconsistent
BT port 1
Unknown port
Connected to random wiring in the house
Virgin media outside socket, including empty shell
BT port 2
BT port 3
Above are the pictures of what i've found around the house, we have multiple different wires, and the only ones it connects to is what you can see it connected to, but like i've said, the actual speed and connectivity from this is awful.
Furthermore, our virgin media box didn't come with everything it says in the setup, we didn't have a splitter nor a splitter to box connector, only the wall to splitter side twice.
My computer is connected via EDUP WiFi 6E AX210 PCIE Wifi Card, but also i've tried with tp-link powerline adapters, av600's and av1000s, with the same result.
Here are the speedtest results that i've been running this week, as you can see the DL speed is inconsistent and fluctuates by the day, baring in mind we're paying for the M350 Fibre deal, however, the upload seems very consistent.

Don’t bump post, it will only mean that it will take longer for your post to be answered. None of those white sockets are for your hub. It’s best to call in to get a technician’s visit to sort everything out.
Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended.
VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.
If no faults found:
Call Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.
