Hi,

I am new to Virgin and since the set up I am getting very slow speeds -- 37MBPS. I am signed up for M600...

You need to test wired speeds direct to the Hub, VM do not accept wifi speed tests.  Use at least a Cat5e cable.

Thanks I will check wired also .....

Hi @saupen, 

Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for posting. 

I am sorry to hear you are getting slow broadband speeds. 

I have located your account using your forum info and have not been able to identify any issues this end. There is no area outage that is impacting you and everything is in the green. 

If you could run a wired speed test and let us know how you get on, that would be great. 

Thanks

However irrespective of it being wifi or wired ....If I am on M600 shouldnt I be getting something close to it?

Hi @saupen,

Can you please confirm if that speed test in your last post was performed on a wired connection, or a wireless/Wi-Fi connection?
 

Thanks,
 

[saupen]

Yes that was wired.

Hi @saupen,

Thank you for confirming. If you're on the M600 package then you should be getting download speeds of 315Mbps as a minimum on a wired connection as confirmed here.

Have you performed a factory reset of the router yet?

Thanks,

Thanks Zach for the response.

Its a new connection so i believe the box should be factory reset from start right or do I have to do it again?

Hi @saupen,

Though it may be a new connection, it'd be best to perform a factory reset as this can help to alleviate issues such as this following set up.

Once you've performed one, give it a few minutes to boot back up the connection again and then run a further Speed Test to see what results you get and if there are any improvements.

Let us know how you get on.

Thanks,
