EPH Gateway compatiblity
I have an EPH gateway used for controlling my heating via WiFi, and have used it for 3 years without issue. About 3 months ago it started dropping off the internet and after 3 or 4 visits the engineer suggested I contact EPH who suggested the issue may be something to do with the Virgin Media WiFi ? The did send me another gateway unit just in case, and that has been installed with no improvement. So the question I have is, could the WiFi signal be the problem? I should add that we have no other issues with anything at all connected to the WiFi, and the signal strength seems fine. TIA.
Connection dropping intermittingly
Good afternoon! For about a week now I've noticed that my internet connection drops for around 5-10s every 20-60 minutes, sometimes multiple times over a 5 minute period and I have no idea why. I am currently wired to the hub as is my other laptop but I notice the connection dropping on my wireless devices around the same kind of time too, others in the household have also noticed this. I have also seen on Reddit and here that others are in the same boat across the UK so I know it's not isolated to me. Is there anything that can be done to resolve this? I will provide any information asked and run whatever diagnostics I am advised to. Thank you.No internet and intermittent internet since 13 November
Since 13 November I have had either no internet or intermittent internet. First outage on 13 November following a storm resulted in 3 new hubs, 3 ONU boxes, 5 engineers to confirm a network issue. Internet working on 19 November. Next outage on 13 December so dad I have had 2 engineers. First one confirmed network issue to be resolved in 24-48 hours. No internet or intermittent internet called Virgin 3 times 2 advisors confirmed Virgin were aware of network issues yet, 3rd advisor confirmed no issues or outages and another engineer sent. He arrived Monday of this week and could not see any issues with the equipment in the house and spoke to his manager and network team who knew of no network issues. We are now on day 11 of no or intermittent intermittent internet. The app is mostly useless in saying everything is working correctly but last night it did give a message after doing a hub test that there was an intermittent issue. Can anyone advise how to get this issue escalated to someone who will fix it? Currently solid white light on hub 5 and no internet.
Connection randomly drops
From Wednesday on this week my connection has been dropping or becoming very slow at random, I obviously checked the service and it stated there was a problem with inconsistent connection in my area, so I thought that explained it. However I am still having issue now and further checks say there are no problems in my area, I can go hours without a drop and sometimes it will then go off and on a few times in an hour and then be fine again, I went through the remote process today of restarting the hub in case this does anything a local reset doesn't but it made no difference. When I check Windows it states that my connection is low quality, if I restart my PC it says the same so I restart the adapter which then fixes it, it should be noted despite this my connection is back up at 1155 Mbps Download and 105 Mbps Upload which is my average connection speeds. Windows also reports no issues with my network adaptor but just to be sure I installed the most recent driver. I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar issues as I see form outage sites that Virgin appears to have had a number of issues recently?Internet only works between certain hours?
My internet connection has only been working properly between roughly 10:09am and 4:01pm every day, and this is now day 5 of the issue. Outside of those hours the service is basically unusable due to the upload speed dropping. I have run multiple speed tests and the pattern is exactly the same every day. Before 10:09am and after 4:01pm, my upload speed sits at around 0.20 Mbps, but between those hours it jumps to around 40 Mbps. I have made countless calls to Virgin Media and am getting nowhere. An engineer is due to visit today between 12pm and 4pm, but I am not hopeful as this clearly is not an isolated fault. I live in a block of flats and multiple neighbours in my block, as well as the block next door, are all affected by the same problem. One neighbour already had an engineer visit yesterday and was given a replacement router, which only worked for about 10 minutes before the issue returned. I am using a Hub 5 and have only been with Virgin Media for two months, so this is incredibly frustrating. Has anyone experienced anything like this before or got any ideas what could be causing such a specific, time-based upload issue? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!See 403 forbidden only with Virgin wifi for a ticket website
I want to buy concert tickets from Melon Ticket Global, which is a legal ticketing website in South Korea. I can open the website with my data or with other providers' wifi, but can't open it with the Virgin Media wifi, which is also my home wifi. I saw "403 Forbidden" when I tried to access it with Virgin. Unluckily, I can't use my data inside my flat, thanks to the concrete building :( I think this might be due to that Virgin Media uses its own DNS address. I tried to change my home wifi's DNS to public IPs (Google, Cloudflare), but it still didn't work. I used NordVPN at home, still not working. I kind of doubt that Virgin Media forces me to use its own DNS. Maybe I'm asking too much, but I do feel very inconvenient to go outside to access the website. And I'm still not sure it's Virgin Media banning Melon Ticket Global, or the other way around.Latency spikes/dropped packets, at wits end!
Been using my M500 broadband line for a few years now and never had problems with Virgin Media, until two weeks ago. I started getting random latency spikes that's deeply affecting work calls and gaming. Engineer came around on Saturday and says everything is "fine" on my line, even replaced my Hub 3 router with a brand new one - after he left, I continued to monitor and test for a few hours, but sadly same issue persists! I've set up a BQM (I showed the engineer this, but didn't seem phased) Here is my line with the BQM from ThinkBroadband (post the new Hub 3 as the graph looked the same pre-new Hub 3), you can clearly see the dropped packets - Clearly there is something very wrong with my line, please can anyone help!?WiFi speed expectations - 1/3 of the speed
Hi All, Just had a problem with my Hub fixed and now have a Hub 5 all working. Engineer said I wasn't getting full 1gb internet speeds but it should improve. I've just checked and I'm getting around 200 this morning, got about 330 yesterday evening. What could be the cause? Any ideas on how to fix?
