Expecting up to 108mbps and getting 10mbps. Virgin state there is no issue. Is this a matter for Ofcom or will they simply state Virgin are meeting the 10mbps minimum requirement?

Hello
Thank for joining in on the forum, we will try the best to get your issue resolved.

How are you doing the speedtest is it either wired or wireless, wired is always the best option as wireless can be affected by many different things.

Can you please post your network stats from the hub
Open a Web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and enter the address http://192.168.0.1
Note: If you have enabled Modem Mode on your Hub 3.0 you will need to use 192.168.100.1 instead.
Posting the stats by copy and paste will remove all personal information so no breaches.
Do not login but click on where it says "Check Router Stats" and then copy and post from the following 4 tabs, Downstream, Upstream, Configuration and Network logs (if they are pasted then all personal information is * out) and we can check your power level, also while you about that can you please go around and check that all connectors to VM equipment are hand tight. Also while doing this please check for any damage to cable, or un-terminated connection without either coax or a terminator.
Also please run "Check service status" at the top right of this forum and call 0800 561 0061 to check for local issues.
Also one think you can do is too signup at https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality and setup a broadband quality monitor which will keep an eye on you connection by sending a small amout of data to the hub asking if it still on.

Regards Mike

Follow Mike's excellent advice (may sound scary, but not that difficult a step at a time).  No point contacting Ofcom, they record but don't act on consumer complaints.  But it is worth persisting - most VM speed problems can be resolved, and when it works VM delivers your full contracted speed consistently.  Customer service can be a disappointment, but between us and the helpful, UK based VM staff who support this forum I'm sure this can be fixed.  And if it isn't the VM cable connection, we're the people to talk you through your options improving wifi.

Hi @Richand1, 

Welcome back to the forum page and thanks for posting on here. 

Sorry to hear you're still having ongoing issues that haven't been solved, but we can certainly look into this for you. 

But just a couple of questions, do you find these speeds are like this on all devices or is it just a couple? 

Was there any local issues as @DJ_Shadow1966 highlighted? 

Have you also carried out any resets or reboots as we do just recommend trying this just to see if it does make a difference at all? 

Please let us know, we can then take a look into your account further for you to get this sorted. 

Thanks

Hi Sasha, all devices yes and have rebooted several times. There were no local known issues.

Thanks for keeping me updated @Ricchand1, 

I will send you over a PM so we can look into this for you. 

Please look out for the purple envelope at the top right hand corner of your screen for your PM. 

Thanks
