Hub 5 on its way out
I started a discussion about my Hub5 giving me trouble around 4 months back. I had an engineer come to my house who was very helpful and understanding of the issue. He said the power supply felt a little loose in the slot of the hub so gave me a new power supply and off he went. It was fine for a week and it started happening again. My hub basically turns itself off completely unresponsive and if I as much as pick up the hub the power light fires back up basically telling me that there's a dodgy connection somewhere. I have also experienced a loss of connection followed by a loud high pitched squeal from the hub then the lights shut off. It's clear to me this hub needs replacing if I can please have another engineer come out and replace it.Broadband
So virgin can issued broadband to the house opersite my front door .. but don’t issue it to my house I think it’s because my adress is on a private road .. I spoke to two engineers outside my property as the box for the coms is outside my house and they both said it would be easy to do it as just run a line up the wall and into the house - I’ve been on the phone to virgin and explained I’ll pay for a engineers time to come to my house and see what is available and what they can do and she said she asked the question but because my adress isn’t on the the checker they can’t do that - inside the box on the door there was a list of properties and my adress was on there and all the addresses of the private road. What option have I got to get them to to do me broadband I’m currently with sky and because my house is big the WiFi is awful I get 70mpb but most of time I’m using my own 5g because it doesn’t work.Houses in our postcode have Virgin but not our property
Hi, I've seen a couple of similar posts regarding this but the new build property we're moving into doesn't have a BT line and the address is not showing up on the virgin address lookup. Other properties that have our postcode show up on the lookup but not ours. We've registered interest for our property but we're due to move in a couple of weeks time so we'd need internet setup for then. Is someone able to assist with getting this address added to the lookup so we can progress next steps. ThanksShady tactics and lies - avoid
I write this in hope someone will read in the future and spare themselves the experience of opening an account with Virgin. I had the terrible idea of signing up woth them. I spoke with a salesman who assured the contract was full fibre. When the contract came, the wording on it were for hybrid broadband. I called back immediately to cancel and a very rude employee called John Paul told me that I couldn't cancel my account because it wasn't in the system yet. I managed to speak with the salesman again, who revealed he wasn't really sure about hybrid vs full fibre and offered to send an engineer the day after. I agreed. The engineer never showed up. When I called them back, I learned the engineer appointment was mysteriously cancelled without notification (they couldn't tell me by whom or why of course), so I had spent the whole Saturday morning waiting for the engineer for nothing. I finally was able to cancel (which is very hard to do, they keep making excuses) but of course my O2 account, part of the package, that was opened by the Virgin Media saleaman, needed to be cancelled separately, so another 1/2 hour of phone call, verification, explanation etc. On the phone service, it's almost impossible to speak to a human operator: the only way is saying that you're thinking of cancelling, they'll put you through the retention team who can't do anything, but they'll eventually transfer you to the other teams. Even getting there is hard: the voice password system doesn't work, and you have to dial in your password after 3 attempts. Imagine an old person trying to cancel or fix something, they'll never be able. Obviously there is no option for "the engineer never showed up", and if you select the wrong option you will descend into robocall help until they tell you to go to the website and hang up. All operators are from Asian countries, thick accents, hard to understand. A scam, hopefully the regulator looks into those shady practices.58Views0likes3CommentsVM connect app keeps asking 'are you at home?' when attempting to use home scan
I recently installed VM broadband and TV, and I can connect to the router (hub 5) with my phone and the VM stream box, but he VM connect app keeps asking 'are you at home?' whenever I attempt to use the home scan function - although I am already connected to the hub. I have tried rebooting the router and reinstalling the app but it makes no difference. I have also used different devices (iphone and ipad) but it is still the same. I'm not running any VPNs. I have already seen that at least one other person on this community is having this same problem. Can someone from CS please respond?Red light on hub5
Hi. I need help. Red light on hub5. Tried everything, unplugged everything multiple times. Reconnect everything and still nothing. Called virgin media line and checked app for any network issues. None in my area apparently. Logged in to the router and have the below. Showing CS9004. Can someone from virgin media please help resolve. Thanks in advance61Views0likes7CommentsNew Build Property
I have a new build property that has virgin cabling and is connected to the virgin box, however, Virgin are saying they are unable to provide service to the property. I have spoken to the sales team who have been incredibly unhelpful and keep telling me to register my interest, which I did 7 months ago. The house next door is servicable (existing build). The sales department have said they are unable to connect me to anyone who can help or unable to send an engineer without placing an order, which they can't do as the system says no. There must be a way around this. We have been in this property for 7 months and not getting anywhere!N8 - North London - Full broadband outage 11 days and counting
Just received yet another VM text kicking the can down the road another 3 days, to July 4th. But thrilled to hear that "an engineer is on their way"! (for the 10th time). I have zero confidence that it will be fixed at this time. I have zero confidence in Virgin Media, at this point. Their handling of this is beyond dreadful; it's non-existent. Yes I have reached out and lodged a complaint, but the "resolution" that I received in response is an automated copy-and-paste travesty that simply repeats the nonsense in the text messages. In the 30ish years that I have had Internet to my home, this is the very first time experiencing an outage that has lasted more than a day, anywhere. I am in London, and there are internet lines strung everywhere. Why has no technician been rerouting the line to our property after the first 24 hours? Utterly pathetic. A shame, as the service was reliable until 12:30 on Jun 20th, when it went dead. I suspect that I am now experiencing the true face of Virgin Media... which is utterly awful. Is there anyone else in the Crouch End area experiencing the same outage?192Views1like7CommentsHub 6 no internet connection
We have just moved into a new apartment and had a technician out to install the Wi-Fi router on Tuesday this week. There was already an existing connection point which he tested and confirmed was good. He set-up the router and assured me that everything was working. I checked to see that the Wi-Fi network was visible (which it was) before he left. Unfortunately when I connected to the Wi-Fi I discovered there was no internet connection. I followed the troubleshooting steps on the virgin media website. I rebooted the box, tried connecting on other devices and forgot and reconnected to the network. Nothing worked. I rang Virgin Media support and they advised that the connection had not been fully activated and that I should wait 3 hours after the technician visit. So I did but it still did not work after 3 hours nor the next morning. It’s now Friday, I’ve been away for a couple of days, and there is still no internet connection. Very frustrating given that I specifically requested a technician call-out to avoid any connection issues. When I run the network diagnostic tool on my hub 6, I get the following; Can anyone advise on how to resolve please ?22Views0likes1CommentNetwork issues again
Loss of service for 2 days now. Unable to work due to this issue. Engineer out 8/7/25 but he advised this was a network issue and needs looks into by another team. Cant check anything on the app as it’s useless. Says no issues in area which is incorrect. Then when I try to run a test it says intermittent signal issues in area check back in 24 hours. How many days am I meant to wait. Home security also offline as this runs off my internet. App can’t connect to my HUB5. So clearly there are issues. I NEED THIS SORTED ASAP36Views0likes2Comments
