Connection drops...
Hi all Back again with another issue of the dreaded connection drops. I was working from home yesterday and rebooted as soon as it drops but when I don't reboot the connection doesn't recover so something going on. Can't say what though as the logs don't mean much to me, I have checked all of the connections in the house and everything is really tight, the only thing that I can think of is some electrical work done and the power was cycled a few times, but not sure why that would result in this. It also suspiciously looks like the connection drops 2 hourly although the 10am drop was a little early.

I would like to move my hub to the opposite side of my living room. It is currently about 3 meters away from the cable entry point. I would like to move it next to the entry point so just need to get a short cable to replace the long cable that was originally installed. Can I purchase a new short cable for this ?Ping, Latency & Packet Loss
Just a question about this really. My minimum latency sits around 18 or 19ms on a ping graph but I’ve seen others connections a lot lower about 10ms or even a bit lower. Is this based on how far you are from the exchange / cable box on the street or local area connection? The think broadband monitor graph shows the main min area in green, just interested how it works and how some people show it much lower. My connection seems fine but this past week seen a lot of dropped packets on my graph but seems to show every other day or so. Can you check if there’s any issue on the line happening? I’ve done a check and it says my home network has a few problems with a Red triangle next to the broadband bit, all the others are normal in Green. PS: I use both Ethernet & Wi-Fi38Views0likes2CommentsFrequent "Sorry for your network issues" texts from VM
Following some pixelation issues around noon on Sunday 21 September I rebooted my VM TV box and all was fine. I immediately checked status of TV and broadband online and there was a known problem in my area. I have had no problems at all since then with any service, speed, signal strength etc but have received texts daily from VM all this week. They either say sorry for issues and we are monitoring your connection for 24 hours or it has been monitored and your connection should be fine now. Yesterday the text said a fault had been identified (I don't have any faults) and I need to book an engineer. Today it was back to sorry for issues and we will be monitoring your connection for 24 hours. How do I stop these? Seems pointless booking an engineer and maybe getting charged as there is no problem.Solved116Views0likes6CommentsPre Install Work Timeline
Hi, new customer here, signed up on 30th Aug, with a planned install date of 16th October, which is now 9 days away.. the track your order page says that because I haven’t had VM before that a pre-install engineer visit will be required and I would be contacted within the 14 days prior to the installation date, but nothing has happened yet, and nobody has contacted me. Is this something to be concerned about? Will the installation still go ahead on the 16th October as I have booked the day off work to be at home.A weird one: no online radio
Hi all. I have a really weird issue. Since maybe 2 months ago I am unable to listen to any online radio. Doesn't matter if its an app on my phone or website on my PC or any of my Google devices. It starts playing and after a 1-2 minutes it starts to buffer and stays like that unless I restart the stream/app, then it plays for another 1-2 minutes. Youtube and Spotify work without issues. The only solution I have is to use VPN on my PC but that doesn't help with my Google devices. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm on 1Gig connection with Hub5 Thanks53Views0likes2CommentsOrdering a WiFi pod
Hi, am I able to receive a WiFi pod? I have run a speed test inside my property and speeds are perfect, but I have an outbuilding and the speeds are just not strong enough, I have 1gb broadband, but only reaching 40-50mbs about 8 feet away inside my outbuilding65Views0likes6Comments
