Really worried about my Hub 3, red light, slow and overheating
Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help with my Hub 3. I’ve noticed the light on the front has turned a solid red color and the whole thing is actually hot to the touch. I did a bit of searching on here and it looks like this is an overheat warning? It’s pretty concerning as it’s sitting right near my TV and I’m worried about it being a fire risk, so I’ve had to unplug it for now. I’ve tried the pinhole reset but the red light just comes back on after a few minutes. On top of that, the Wi-Fi has been terrible for a long time. Pages just hang forever before loading and online calls lag to the point of disconnection, even though I'm on the M350 plan and even in the same room. I’ve been a customer for a long time but honestly, between the safety worry and the bad connection, I’ve started looking at Sky. I’d much rather just get this fixed, though. I know there’s a rollout for the Hub 5 happening now for people with older Hubs. Is there any way a staff member could help me get one sent out? I really don't want to go back to another Hub 3 if this one is already failing like this. Thanks in advance for the help!Solid redline on my hub3

Broadband outage since 20.11.25 in HX7 - any insiders know why?
I’m in West Yorkshire (hX7) and my broadband has now been down since 20th November due to an outage in our area. Virgin Media keeps giving me daily “it’ll be fixed by X time” estimates, but every time the deadline passes the fix time just gets pushed back again. I finally got a fault reference (F012083365), but the automated text updates are now giving me completely unrealistic placeholder repair dates like 29/11/2025 and 01/12/2025, which obviously aren’t genuine engineer estimates. It feels like the system is just looping without any real update or engineer activity. I’ve spoken to WhatsApp support, web chat, and phone support, but I keep getting copy-paste answers like “an engineer is on their way” or “external damage by a foreign element,” with no actual detail about what’s happening or when it will realistically be resolved. Is anyone else in the area experiencing the same outage? Or does anyone here who works/has worked for Virgin Media know what this usually means? Is this the kind of long-term fault where they’re waiting on contractors or permits, or is it more likely that the job is stuck in their system? Any insight would be massively appreciated the lack of real communication is the most frustrating part.Red light on hub
Hiya I’ve got a red light on my hub which no matter what I do won’t go away. I’m not sure if it’s impacting my WiFi as my connection keeps dropping when I’m on teams calls. I’ve done tests which says I should have a virgin wifi pod but I cannot find a way to order them anywhere. Any ideas? ThanksConstant red light on Hub
The red light on my hub stays red all the time despite switching off. I still have working WiFi and Virgin TV. I have factory reset the hub, checked cables etc. and hub temperature but still red. I’ve read a few other threads and people are suggesting I need a replacement? ThanksVirgin media broadband outage GU14
Hello Virgin media has and outage since roughly Monday 22nd Sept in the GU14 area. Thursday 25th we were informed it was fixed. Everysince the fix we the Superhub switches to either flashing green or flashing red and the internet dropping out for most of the day until circa 7pm. Then working flawlessly in until the next morning until it cuts out at 9ish. I can only assume Can I get a bit more information on what is happening in the GU14 area - it seems the outage hasn't been totally resolved and there is work continuing. customer service doesn't really give much info apart from booking a technician and I can't see anything on status updates as it just states "you have a technician booked" Any help is my much appreciated as this issue is really driving us bonkers! Thank you
Red light on hub three
Hello there, I wonder if anyone can help. I have a three router and I am continually having to turn the power off and allow it to cool down. It has a red light on constantly. I have performed all the instructions that I have come across in previous post and had a chat with one of the virgin representatives. This is included doing a hard reset and a pinhole push for 30 seconds. I find this sometimes resolves the problem for a number of days and then it repeats the same issue and the Wi-Fi drops. The router is well ventilated and vertical but has a constant red light on it is not particularly hot to touch. Any advice or direct message from virgin media representative would be greatly appreciated. Looking on previous posts of the same manner it seems the hub may be faulty and require replacement. Many thanks
