Get a new Hub - at no extra cost email
I have had an email stating that my hub can be upgraded from hub 3 to hub 4 at no extra cost. The email says click here to get it now, but when I click the link it sends me to the service status page and there is no option to order a hub. I tried talking to someone on the chat window but they said I can only have one if I pay to upgrade. Am I missing something??Address not listed or serviceable but exchange box is just next to my home
Please help! Hello I am in the same frustrating situation all my neighbours on the other side of our street are listed and already have virgin. However when I input my postcode into the website my address isn't listed. There's a grey virgin media branded box installed just next to my house (only several meters away!) It shoule be easy to get a wire from the grey box to my house. You can hide it under the leaves, isn't ? Thank you.Embarrassingly slow speed
My internet speed the last few weeks has been incredibly slow compared to what it was before. Typically I have been able to break at least 50mb/s on my computer but as of the last few weeks I can barely break 20mb/s with occasional dips to <10mb/s for considerable periods of time. I have gone through each step typically recommended on the status check website including: resetting the router, changing position and re-plugging. I've even tried alternative methods like changing my DNS IP on the computer to see if that was the issue but to no avail. If anyone could please look into my router for me I would really appreciate it. I can provide the name account holder and additional details if needed. I will also confirm that this is not an issue with my computer as the Wi-Fi is also very slow even when I'm right next to the router. FYI I use an ethernet cable.

I've been having issues where my connection experiences spikes and complete dropouts, 30 minutes apart. I have been running BQM since Friday 6/6/25, as you can see in the attached graph from 8th-9th, the space between drop outs are quite consistent. I have: - Fully reset to factory settings. - Disabled IP Flood Detection (suggested solution on another site) - Tested other devices (another PC, 4 Phones, Xbox Series X, 2 TVs) all experience the same connection issues. - Pinged various IP Addresses and all came back with no loss. I am connected via Ethernet to the 10gbps port, my PCs ethernet port is compatible with those speeds: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/812c9d78-d2e7-4766-9f17-9cd7acd688b1 Other devices are Wifi (PC is Wifi 6, rest are 5ghz/2.4ghz) Package Info: 2gig up and down These are my router stats: PON modem status Online Connection mode IPOE IPv4 firewall Online IPv6 firewall Online IP_VOIP Down IP_DATA Up Transceiver temperature 29 Transceiver voltage 3 Laser bias current 12 ONT transmit power 5200 ONT receive power -16400 Network access Allowed Baseline Privacy disabled PON Mode XGS-PON 09-06-2025 11:12:46 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 11:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:31:20 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:31:14 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:37 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:06 notice GUI Login Status - Login Fail from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:36:50 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 09:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:37:10 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:37:00 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:36:49 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:36:39 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:36:59 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed The network logs go much further, with regular error messages stating "IPoE IPv4 ping failed". This will be the 2nd router I am on, having the 1st replaced by an engineer for similar issues. Frankly, at £96 per month, I expect a far superior service. The speeds are good, sure, fantastic even. But it's no good having "lightning speeds" when you can't use them! If anyone else is experiencing this issue, or similar, please feel free to contribute your findings. VM, I eagerly await your advice/solutions as this is now affecting my employment. Regards.Patio damage
When Virigin Media came to my house to set-up my broadband they broke my patio trying to lay the cable. Then they were unable to lay the cable due to a blockage and left. They said they would repair the damage after the cable was laid. After 5 months of repeatedly making appointments and cancelling them, resulting the cable never being laid and never getting broadband, I cancelled the contract but my patio still has this damage. I have contacted VMO2InsuredClaims and they keep claiming they're going to send engineers but they never turn up. How can I escalate this as once again Virigin Media is making appointments they have no intention of keeping?Moving Router to another room
Hi, i have recently signed up after moving home and wanted to have the router installed upstairs where it could be used via ethernet to make full use of the gigabit bundle i have signed up for. Unfortunately when signing up i was told there was no longer an option to have a technician come to install the router. Is it still possible to have someone come out and move the router? The wifi speeds are very low in most of the rest of the house and even a powerline adapter hasn't helped much. Any help with this would be appreciated as the bundle isn't really worth the cost as is.Poor WiFi speed in every room!
I am currently on the M500 plan and have a broadband speed of 276.30mbps in the lounge where the WiFi box is. However as soon as I leave this room the speed drops to 39.36 downstairs and 3.42 upstairs. This is not sustainable. I have seen people able to get boosters free of charge due to virgin not offering the service set out. Does anyone know if this is a possibility or how I can fix the issue without paying an extra £10pm for each booster!Appointments
Signed up for virgin media on the 1st of May. The first appointment was on the 16th May. Installation date was ‘delayed’ and changed to 5th of June. Then no communication at all regarding the missed appointment. Spoke to someone on the web chat feature and they said it was cancelled because of permissions from the council? Then they said prepull works will happen on the 9th with no further explanation. It is now the 9th of June and currently 19:55. No one has turned up and no communication has been given from virgin media. I also don’t understand why extra works need to be done when my neighbours also have virgin media. So why is it such a hassle to set it up for me. Can Someone from virgin media please help and get this sorted out. There is currently no communication from virgin media and I am stuck without WiFi.
