Hi Richard

Please don't create multiple threads for the same issue, it is against the forum rules.  I have merged your threads.

One of the forum team should be along soon and can look into this for you, but it might take a day or two before they get here.

Thanks for those details richardburton9

I have checked from here and its showing as switched off 

Can you try a website now, say a Gambling one 

Gareth_L

Thanks Gareth

No problem reaching a gambling site. When I look at my virgin settings they show off but I wondered if they really are off as there didn't seem anyway to turn them on of you wanted to (not that I do!).

I use my broadband to access TV and some evenings, programmes stop and start, and I read online that I should check the safety settings. I was also told that Virgin "strangle" the broadband on occasion - do you know if this is true? Any help gratefully received!

Thanks, Richard

Hi richard

If websafe was on then you would not be able to access that site. 

It is 100% off now 

Onto the TV issues 

Is this a smart Tv and how are you connected?

We don't have any traffic management in place any more 

Gareth_L

Hi Gareth, yes it is a smart TV. V rarely have problems during the day, but rather in the evenings. The broadband speed seems fine so not sure what the problem could be. It was suggested that websafe or Virgin traffic management could be the issue but it sounds like you've ruled these out.

Hi Gareth - it's wi-fi and the speed is pretty consistent at 100. Unfortunately can't run and Ethernet cable. Richard
