paying for 1 Gb but not getting

Hi, i have been having trouble with my speeds for a long time. I upgraded to 1GB last March ( 2021)

after keep ringing and talking to different people across the globe & getting different answers I almost gave up.!!!

Today I eventually got through on the phone to someone to say my Upgrade was Still Pending??

My speeds have been around 200-300 on Ethernet, but for some reason much higher on my mobile.

I was told by 2 different Virgin staff that this was down to the upgrade still pending BUT I have been paying for 1 gb for a year.

They are now looking into it. But how can this be?

every time I have rang and complained I either get told I need the new WIFI pod? why as its Not my wifi but my Ethernet speed. Or I get told there is a problem in the area.

Why has it taken so long for someone to suddenly look into this and tell me its due to something "Pending" on the account?

Is there any chance I will get a refund for a service I started paying for last year, but Not received, due to it "pending" I was previously on 500m and with so many things now needing wifi that was just not good enough, so upgraded ( or so I thought ) to the 1GB....................... only to be told now I've not been getting it!!!

 

Can anyone help or advise?

You need to check in your HUB stats to confirm what speed your HUB is configured for. Access the HUB and select 'Check router status' then review the 'Configuration' tab.

It's because images have to be approved by moderators... unless you use your own image host like imgur.

It's the configuration tab we're interested in.

Another option is to copy paste as text.

Re: paying for 1 Gb but not getting

Ive just done the Check my status on the Webpage and got this response.
I upgraded to 1Gb back in March 2021, and the only change to service recently is the Ooph Virgin Sim has now changed to the O2 sim. But no change to internet. So I have been paying for 1GB for a year and now today my speed is highest its ever been
Download Mbps
416.79
Ping ms
11
Upload Mbps
28.38

pretty poor


Looks like you've made a change to your package

You might find your service has a few interruptions while we sort things for you, so hold tight and give it a little while.

Need more help with this?
