1gb service but speeds of 159 and less

2 weeks later, 2 complaints raised, 1 x engineer out and numerous phone calls, chat on Instagram and they can all see the issues from their side.

Engineer said 1017 coming into home but 159 download on an ethernet connected device (laptop).

Engineer had the cheek to say my work laptop is faulty on the notes he relayed to his office and found this out after one of the phone calls.

Meanwhile his device showed the same thing, wait for it to settle down, bla bla bla, 2 weeks later, no improvement.

New hub, still the same rubbish and still paying their salaries. They need to change their scripts they read from.

Reset router numerous times, ball ache, as got a few devices to reconnect each time.

We/I just want the service we pay for please. If rhere is an issue, own up and tell your customers.

Was told to come on here by Natalie and inform all, so Virgin can get this sorted. Do you think they going to do anything other than to check the connect remotely.

So frustrating !

Hi John,

Huge thanx for your time, I am NO IT person so please be patient with me.

Everything has just slowed down on my internet network.

  • Even struggling to test via Samknows on laptop that is now ethernet connected. Ethernet status speed of 1.0 Gbps but does that mean it is enabled for 1Gbps, i cannot get to the Properties windows, where you select the speeds, as show in one of the threads.
  • As soon as I disconnect my ethernet cable and go onto Wifi, wifi status shows a speed of 866.7Mbps but freezers at 31seconds duration and on trouble shooting, it detects a DNS server not responding. Then i close Wifi status window and reopen the status window and then it shows 351Mbps. Laptop is foot away from VM router.
  • How do you start laptop in safe mode as per one of your threads ?
  • I so wish I have an IT brain. 🙂

Many thanks for all your help and patience.

Getting the same thing here. On 1Gbps, but getting less than 150Mbps when connected via ethernet, and 220 on WiFi. Seems to be getting steadily worse too.
