Am a volt customer and I have requested a pod before but it was never sent out and no trace of the confirmation even though the agent said it will arrive, its been over a month. its frustrating getting speed as low as 2mbps or even my bedroom going dead. can someone look into this please and thanks.

Hi dorcasA
The pods are free on the Gig1 package, Ultimate Oomph, or any Volt bundle, however if you are on any other package then they are £8 a month.
You need to perform the Home Scan using the Connect app in the area where the signal is low(est) or as near to there as possible. The home scan feature will guide you from room to room to carry out WiFi speed tests. If it finds a potential signal-less spot, it’ll test your broadband speed to the WiFi Hub to make sure there isn’t a problem with your network.
If everything’s okay with the Hub, the app will take you through to order a WiFi Pod to help boost your WiFi connection.
How to perform the scan and order the wifi pods when using the Connect app.
If that doesn't work you can call 0800 064 3850 to order the first one
VM will only send out one at a time, and there must be at least 7 days before ordering each one. It's up to three in total depending upon coverage.
Following that if you need additional pods you can order them by logging into /my-virgin-media, as per the info below from https://www.virginmedia.com/wifi-max ?

Hi and thanks for the reply, as I have mentioned I am a volt customer and i have the benefits activated already. I have already done the scan through the connect app and I get speed as low as 2mbps during the day and 18mbps at night time in my bedroom. but I still cant order the pod as dont see the option on the app. I have called virgin already and the agent I spoke to said a free pod will be sent out but it was never sent out.
