Re: Upgraded to 1Gb but getting 500mb speeds
I am having the same issue. I was on 500mbps before, and used to get around 450mbps. I cancelled my contract and just before my Sky install I was offered 1000mbps to stay with Virgin... I stayed and got the new hub... but I am still getting only around 200-450mpbs. Its as if the new speeds have not been activated as its literally no different and was the only reason I stayed and didn't just move to Sky and have cheaper 500mpbs with them. Lucky I am in my 14 days still so I might just cancel and still move to Sky anyway if its not resolved.17KViews1like67CommentsI’m not getting the speed I’m paying for
I’m currently running various speed check tests and I’m beginning to think that Virgin Media is throttling my broadband connection. There’s nothing wrong with the Hub3 - I’ve got it set up to run a mesh network. My tests are run on VM’s side of the connection - so it’s not me that is the problem. And yet regular as clockwork I get 250Mbps for part of the day. Then late afternoon it drops to less than 40Mbps, and who knows when it will get higher. So VM says for M250, I should be getting an average 264Mbps and unlimited downloads.I wish!! I have yet to figure out how to get an engineer to visit so they can prove me wrong. I refuse to let someone remotely mess with the hub and cut me off totally. So just how do I get a guaranteed visit from a VM engineer?Solved10KViews2likes7Comments
