Hi,
Hub 4 1Gig fibre. Had a week and still not working any where near desired speeds on wired connection at best 50%
Wi-Fi is not great either around house and nowhere close to speed promised, not even 30% not even whilst standing next to it using different devices ( Samsung flag ship S22 Ultra and an older Samsung S10 show similar bandwidth 330mb/s)
But it's the wired connection that's the main problem.
Followed instructions on website. Wait 2 hrs as service updated.
No change at all.
Called tech support. Went through the motions, have you down powered and reset etc.
Then told to try a new network cable as i was using a cat 5, new cable issued by VM within 48 hrs, No change at all and to top it all off it was still a cat 5 ethernet cable.
Called service support again and cannot see any faults, so is stating it could be my PC, so was told to try either someone else's pc or equipment like an Xbox etc to connect to it or buy a new cat 6 0r even cat 7 ethernet cable.
I don't believe that any of my equipment is at at fault.
Please help

Virgin "promise" 20mb over wifi, are you getting less than this?
Can you visit https://samknows.com/realspeed/ to see how your wired speeds are so you can find out where the bottleneck is

Hi John,
Thank you for your reply to my query.
I have now ordered myself some cat 7 cables and even going to try a cat 8 to my pc.
I've also used the virgin media connect app which shows my hub speed to be 1133Mbps and my wi-fi speeds to be 433Mbps whilst i'm within 2foot of my Hub 4 router .
It also quotes my device capability to be 867Mbps.
So maybe it is all down to Quality of ethernet cables to my pc.
I shall update with my findings once new cables arrive.
Best regards,
Chris

Thank you for your response to my post.
I have tried the link you suggested and it truly shows there is a concern with my PC not receiving the full bandwidth.
So I am now investing into some new Quality Ethernet Cat8 and Cat7 cables to connect through and see if that makes the difference.
If not then it may end up being more hardware upgrades in my pc.
I shall keep you informed of any findings / progress.
Best regards,
Chris
