Internet stops working once a day requiring a router reboot
Hi, I recently upgraded from volt500 to volt 1gig, which needed a modem change from hub3 to hub5. I use it in modem mode with my own router. Once a day now, the internet completely stops working, and I need to reboot the router by unplugging and replugging. After doing some searching, my 3.1 downstream channel is extremely weak.

Hi, We’ve been experiencing constant internet downtime and instability recently. After checking the status page on our Virgin Media Hub 5, I noticed extremely high uncorrectable errors on the DOCSIS 3.1 downstream channel, along with a low PLC power level that may be contributing to the issue. Here are the key stats: Router: Virgin Media Hub 5 Channel ID: 159 (OFDM) Locked Status: Locked RxMER: 36 dB PLC Power: -9.2 dBmV Corrected Errors: 721,981,898 Uncorrectable Errors: 113,766,705 The error count continues rising even after rebooting the router. We’ve already checked all cables and splitters inside the house—they’re properly connected and in good condition. Despite this, we’re seeing frequent disconnections, lag, and loss of service. Could someone from the team please investigate this? It feels like there might be a signal issue either at the street cabinet or on the line coming into the property. Happy to provide further data if needed. Thanks in advance, KellyCan't join VM as address doesn't appear
Tldr: just moved into a house and I can't get VM as the address doesn't appear online & when calling they also said there is no service to that property. Every other house on the street has VM and upon moving in...there's a VM point on the house... Welcome any advice. ThanksSYNC Timing Synchronization failure
So I have been having issues for the last year since I moved. Just constant network dropouts for a few minutes at a time. I'm quite easy-going so I hadn't really pushed the subject with VM. However, I am currently working remotely and it is causing me a lot of bother. I called VM support on 26/06/25 and was simply ignored in everything I tried to tell the chap on the phone and told that I need to trust him and that resetting the router for the 10th time this week will in fact be the solution to all my problems. Anyway, here we are still having issues. I do not know what steps to take to get real support and another call to the lovely offshore support team may just make me lose it. I can see some logs on my router and every time the dropouts happen the logs are the same.

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. Mod Edit : Image removedHub 3 hot weather no Internet
Hi, during hot weather(25°+) my hub 3.0 led shows a steady red and the internet goes. It only comes back on when the weather/temp cools down. This consistently happened every hot weather day the last few weeks. I've had my hub 3.0 about a decade now but this is my first time with this issue. Service status for my area always shows as good. I check all connections and reset everytime but it only works for a min then it goes again. The only thing that solves it is waiting for the weather to cool🙁. It's been in the same spot with lots of space around it for years without issue until now.
