Intermittent broadband for 2 days
I had "essential improvements to our network in my area" on Friday, had intermittent connection issues since. I've been through the usual routes of contacting the so called helpline and the online chat, both of which were pretty much useless. Any way to actually speak to somebody who can do something useful?

Ps5 + Virgin issues
For the last 2 days I’ve been having issues with my Virgin broadband and my ps5, all speed checks etc come back fine but whenever a game needs to request data from a server or connect to a server there is connectivity issues which either fails or takes forever. Ive tried contacting Virgin who says there is an issue with an error saying “Hub levels out of spec - engineer required” but I’ve now seen multiple posts on Reddit all have issues and the only thing in common is Virgin broadband. I have tried everything i can think of so any suggestions would be appreciated. tried a reset, modem mode, turning off smart channel, trying a guest network, port forwarding, wired, wireless, messing with settings on the router itself but it works perfectly fine on my hotspot so i know this is a virgin issue with ps5s

New customer, constant disconnects
I’ve been having issues with my Hub5. It randomly disconnects at night for 5 minutes intermittently for the past 3 days. My internet goes down for about 5 minutes, then returns, then goes down again. Very annoying for streaming or online play. I’ve had errors ranging from “No Maintenance Broadcasts for Ranging opportunities received” to “DBC-ACK not received” to “SYNC Timing Synchronization failure” to “No Ranging Response received”. I have the network logs, and setting a BQM will just illustrate my downtimes as mentioned above. I also get 800mbps on an Ethernet connected device, when I should be getting <1gb as it’s a paid service. Is this a Hub issue? Im seriously considering returning everything and the service and switching providers or something. This headache is not something I signed up for. Im in the GU2 area if that makes any difference. Am I entitled for compensation here? I’m not even going to try calling…I can’t stand that bot you have triaging customer service

Need Help from Virgin Team Please!
Hello, I continue to have issues. I think there's a problem with my Hub5 as a new customer. I can't play online games or stream at night, as internet usage seems to knock down my connectivity for a few minutes. Here's one of those spikes in action: Modem error logs as follows: Time Priority Description 29-04-2025 23:27:53 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 29-04-2025 23:13:06 notice US profile assignment change.

no welcome email, but need account number
Hi, I can't set up an account for the app without an area reference and my account number, but I didn't get a welcome email. My kit arrived today, it's all set up, my Wi-Fi is working, but I wanted to set up an account to keep tabs on my direct debit etc. Can someone help?

Landline dead after hub 5 activation
Hi, just installed and activated my hub 5, part of an upgrade. Land line has no dial tone. It is plugged into the grey socket and it was working before I disconnected my old hub 3. How do I fix this? Thank you

Please HELP! All I want to do is get connected.
Hi Virgin Media, I am struggling to get the connection below commissioned, it was already at the house when I moved in. As you wired it by mistake when you connected house 6B. When I speak to your sales team you keep telling me that you cannot provide service to my house. Because is not showing up on the postcode on your system, yet it does with the Royal Mail. You can send post to my new house to collect the old router which keep chasing me for, I have already sent it back in the box you provided. Proving the house does exist. Why are you making it so hard to spend money with you? Three weeks I've been fighting with you over this now.... So frustrating....
