Constant 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? ThanksLatency 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!?Router Issues
Hi Over the last few weeks my Router has needed multiple restarts due to losing connection. I have started to notice after rebooting and white light stops flashing I get a flashing red light for about 30 seconds then back to solid white. I should be getting 1Gb speeds but today its currently on 115Mbps. Can anyone shed any light on this for me please. Have also had issues with my 360 TV box in if I try Iplayer the box will just freeze and need a complete reboot ? Any help or advice would be appreciated. ThanksLonger Coaxial Cable Needed
Hi, I have an odd shaped property such that the VM Coaxial socket box wall outlet is fitted quite some distance from my TV and the living quarters of the house. Therefore I need to move my VM Hub closer to this area via a longer coaxial cable. Needs to be at least 8 metres so a standard 10 metre cable would be ok if 8 metres is not available. Please can this be sent to me? ThanksPossible hub issue?
Hi. I have Hub5x which is now about 2 years old. Recently I started having issues with some streaming services. YT and Spotify works fine but I can't listen to any internet radio. When I do online check it tells me it can't connect to my equipment. I'm assuming that is not normal?Intermittent Signal in your area loop
On I think the 9th of October I noticed some serious spiking of ping when playing games on my PC, connected via Ethernet, also issues with other devices connected via WiFi such as my PS5 and IPhone. I figured id check the area status and got the "Intermittent Signal in your area" and it says were looking into it check back in 24 hours blah blah blah. Well its been over 10 days and its gotten worse if anything. Im not super techy when it comes to diagnosing internet problems but using Discords ping box I can see constant packet loss of sometimes 95% which I cant imagine is supposed to happen and my "ms" usually sits around 23ms but every 5 seconds it will spike to around 50ms so yeh something is very wrong and nothing is being done about it. Not to mention the fact that trying to book an engineer visit a bunch of mind numbing hoops.Not getting no were near the amount of MBPS i am meant to get
So recently noticed when i have been downloading games etc on my PC i have been getting roughly 8MBPS, i am paying for M250 Which says i should receive around that, but im getting no were near that.. Im running wired not wireless so should have quicker speedsTidying external and exposed cables on apartment building
Hi there, I was wondering if virgin media send engineers to tidy external and exposed cables on the outside of houses/flats? As in the building I live in, virgin coax fibre cables have been added over the years as residents have signed up to virgin media. However this piecemeal approach means too many wires are connected into single wall boxes along the building, with damaged/missing brown protective boxes/boxes zip tied etc. See photos attached, looks rubbish. Could do with replacing some boxes/rewiring connectors and tidying the cable runs as exposed connections will get damaged/weathered, cables can fall/be tripped over etc. based in Redland, Bristol, UKNew Build Property
I have a new build property that has virgin cabling and is connected to the virgin box, however, Virgin are saying they are unable to provide service to the property. I have spoken to the sales team who have been incredibly unhelpful and keep telling me to register my interest, which I did 7 months ago. The house next door is servicable (existing build). The sales department have said they are unable to connect me to anyone who can help or unable to send an engineer without placing an order, which they can't do as the system says no. There must be a way around this. We have been in this property for 7 months and not getting anywhere!Complete Install Failure
I wanted to share the experience I've had with Virgin Media's 'installation', as a word of warning to those considering joining. I'm a new Virgin Media customer, so the property required a full fibre installation, including running the cable from the pavement to the house. I noted the 'Preparing your property' section of my online account stated that their partner engineer will contact me to arrange the external work. To my surprise, I came home on Wednesday last week to discover they had 'completed' the external install already. As part of this, they fitted the external cable box to a chimney breast, and added a horrible looking concrete dam across the drainage channel that's part of the pavement, which still left a loop of cable sticking out. Somewhat fortunately the unset concrete forming the dam washed away in the rain, leaving even more exposed cable on the pavement. I phoned the customer support line to explain this install wasn't completed correctly, and that they would have to reroute the cable for it to be possible to complete any internal installation. I was told the external reinstall would be rebooked for today, and the previous internal install rebooked to also occur today. Apparently this would "put everything right" and ensure it would all be done on the same day. I phoned again to confirm this a few days ahead and was then told the previous advisor was mistaken, the internal install hasn't been booked, and can't be done today. I am rebooked for two weeks time as this is the next available slot, but can still expect the external reinstall to occur today. This morning, a very helpful engineer arrives to complete the internal install only. The one that was apparently never booked, and cannot be completed. He does what little he can in the time slot he has (drilling the cable through the wall in a sensible spot and leaving a length outside the property to be connected into the street) and suggests it's unlikely the external install engineer will appear. Sure enough, no external install is completed. I phone again, to be told they'll have to rebook a second time, and am again offered a date over two weeks away. In the meantime, I have two lots of trailing cable, a damaged wall, a trip hazard in the pavement, wasted a day off work, face having to take even more time off (with associated cost), and am without service for over two weeks. Naturally I've raised a complaint, but so far have been offered a pitiful amount towards my next bill and no actual resolution. I'd leave Virgin Media if I had any faith they'd restore my house to its previous condition. All the above is clearly dreadful customer service in response to a frankly idiotic install attempt. I post this in the hope Virgin Media get their act together, and to make prospective customers aware of how they sometimes operate. I have no doubt new customers don't usually suffer this, but the way Virgin Media have handled this case is something they should be aware of. Anon
