Moving to address that already has Virgin Media Broadband
Hi, I'm looking to start a Virgin Media Broadband subscription for a flat that I've purchased and am moving into on 6th August once the sale has completed. I don't currently have a Virgin Media subscription and never have, but when I go to purchase it says "As a Virgin Media account already exists here, we may need to delay sending your kit for a few days while we settle this account." My question is, if I place an order now, will the current owners of the property have their account terminated immediately, or will it be terminated on 6th August when I move in and will my service begin on this date? I obviously don't want to leave them without internet until the date of my move! I'd like for my broadband subscription to start immediately on 6th August as I'll need it for work, but not sure if it's best for me to order now, or to ask the current occupants to terminate their subscription and order once they've had their subscription cancelled. Also the price of the Gig1 service has randomly increased by £5/month since yesterday, there was no mention of a specific sale happening at the time, so do Virgin just randomly change prices on a daily basis? It was £30.99/month two days ago, then £29.99/month yesterday, and now it's up to £34.99/month. Thanks!155Views0likes9CommentsNo broadband for two weeks.
My broadband went down 2 weeks today, my hub 3 is constantly flashing green. There has now been two scheduled maintenances with zero fixes. I’ve spoken to an engineer who was doing work in the area, he told me the issue has been fixed on my road and if I was having any more issues to contact customer support and book a engineer to fix whatever issue I was having. I called and after a lengthy conversation of pre written answers I was then informed that I would not be able to book an engineer due to an outage in my area. This outage is listed as an intermittent issue and every time it reaches the estimated fix time it is pushed back a couple of days. Which means I am unable to book an engineer. I feel like I’m in an endless cycle of waiting for this outage to be fixed so I can book an engineer but the time keeps getting delayed over and over again.68Views0likes8CommentsIntermittent Signal in my area
For about a week now I have been experiencing frequent drop outs and speeds well below what is “guaranteed” by the gig1 fill fibre package and hub 5x. I called virgin media and was told they detect no issue, yet the problem has persisted. This WiFi package was only installed about 3 weeks ago and for 1 week it is has been dropping out.

Hi all. I've recently moved house and was a virgin media customer for 9 years, unfortunately I had to leave as I was told that my new home wasn't able to have virgin media but 2 doors down have it. Tried to speak to someone at virgin about this even filled out the availability form but got nowhere so thought I'd try this. If anyone csn help that would be amazing as I'd love to come back to VirginWe can't find your Hub Looks like we've lost connection. Please try installing again.
Vm connect won’t connect to my hub. Tried reinstalling but still not connecting. Uninstalled the app and tried again but still the same. Happened last week when I rebooted my hub and pods, since then it won’t connect. Any ideas pleaseSolvedOrdered a self-install kit and found no Virgin Wall Socket
Hi, I recently ordered a self-install kit for my home. It was recommended by the system, so I thought there should be a socket. However, I spent 3 hours at home looking for the Virgin Wall Socket. But I couldn't find it. So can you please help me with this? Thank you.Hub 3.0 Solid Red Light
Hi all, I think this is a fairly common issue but my Hub 3 router (in modem mode) has had a solid red status light now for a few weeks but I hadn't noticed any issues so not bothered about it. However, yesterday and this evening I have noticed WiFi issues from the WiFi router connected. If have checked the WiFi device (TP Link X55) and that all appears fine. Yesterday it was down to sub 1MB though. I have tried the turn off and on again approach and tried resetting but the red light persists. Anyone have any other options? Thanks all.144Views0likes11CommentsUpstream power too high?
I've been having connection drop-out issues for the past few months (~180 reconnects within the last month according to VM, though I only saw a drop 1-2 a day for 5-90 mins at a time). I'd been mostly away from home so didn't bother about it until this week, when VM sent out an engineer to investigate (10th July). The engineer removed an old NTL attenuator/splitter, along with the splitter for the broadband and TV (as I plan to ditch the TV). He also switched out my Hub 3 for a Hub 5, which has an inline attenuator on its cable feed. Annoyingly I didn't note the full line stats before the changes, but the engineer said the downstream was reporting as -8 dBmV, and after these changes is now 0 to -5 dBmV with an SNR of 40 dB. I'm still having drop-outs (and T2 and T3 timeouts), though less frequent (1 time a day for 1-5 mins at a time), and from doing some research I suspect my upstream power is still too high. It's currently sitting at 52 dBmV, but I've seen it get as high as 59 dBmV immediately after the modem reconnected (it drops back down to 52 dBmV over a span of ~20 mins once the connection is back up). I just wanted to confirm my understanding is correct before requesting another engineer visit to correct the upstream power. I tried to add the full line stats and log into this post, but the forums report "Your post contains invalid HTML." if I do... that used to work.Solved236Views0likes17CommentsBroadband Dropouts - slow speed– SYNC Timing Errors
I’m experiencing ongoing broadband dropouts that closely resemble the issues described in the following community threads: Broadband connection keeps dropping SYNC Timing Synchronization failure – Loss of Sync My Virgin Media Hub is currently operating in modem mode, and I’m using an ASUS GT-AX11000 router to manage my home network. The dropouts affect both Wi-Fi and wired (LAN) devices, including critical appliances connected directly to the router. Symptoms include: Sudden and repeated loss of internet connectivity across all devices Devices remain connected to the router but lose access to the internet Dropouts occur randomly, sometimes multiple times per day Router logs show normal operation, suggesting the issue is upstream Given the similarity to the SYNC Timing Synchronization failures described in the community posts, I suspect this may be a signal-level or infrastructure issue. I’ve already: Verified all coaxial and Ethernet connections Updated router firmware Monitored logs and confirmed no local faults Could you please: Review the line signal levels and error logs from your end Confirm whether SYNC or RCS errors are present on the hub Advise if an engineer visit is required to inspect the line or cabinet I’d appreciate your support in resolving it promptly.
