Book engineer to check network
Hi, I am having trouble with my internet. It randomly drops out. I have 1gig internet, and intermittently it will drop to 30mbps. Resetting the router fixes it, however when I unplug the router, and plug it back in - it doesn’t connect to the internet. I have left it hours and it doesn’t ever connect. I can connect to the router, but the router doesn’t have internet. I have to unplug it a further 2-3 times, before it will connect to the internet. I did a network self test and it identified the router couldn’t connect with VM servers. An engineer came and replaced the router which didnt fix the issue. The engineer said somebody would have to come and take a look at the cabinet if replacing the router doesn’t fix it. How do I get an engineer to look at the cabinet please? When it happens, these are the error messages: SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing;;CM-MAC=(redacted);CMTS-MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1; And when the internet is working but drops out randomly I get the error - DBC-REQ Mismatch Between Calculated Value for P1.6hi Compared to CCAP Provided Value My postcode is ME20 Thank you28Views0likes1CommentHub 3 constant red light
My virgin hub 3 router has a constant red light on the front for the past 3 months. I have followed all the reset instructions and move its location but it has made no difference. It also regular closed WiFi signal to the TV boxes. Having read this fourm it looks like it needs replaced but I cant get trough the self help guides to speak to a rep on the issue. Can someone please help here? Thanks James24Views0likes3CommentsBoardband service is keeping unstable / disconnected
I’m living in postcode B90. During these months ,the boardband service was keeping unstable. The service was keeping on and off especially on Sat, Sun or Public Holidays. It’s totally disappointed. Is that the services demand over load the server ?17Views0likes0CommentsHub 3 red light on
The red light on my hub stays red all the time despite switching off and on numerous times in the last month. I still have working wifi, phone and Virgin TV. I have factory reset the hub, checked cables etc and hub temperature but still red. When I run diagnostics for the hub it says all OK. I am in router mode. When I do a status check on MyVirginMedia website it usually says unable to connect to your hub. Is there anythingelse I can check?Solved681Views0likes25CommentsEPH Gateway compatiblity
I have an EPH gateway used for controlling my heating via WiFi, and have used it for 3 years without issue. About 3 months ago it started dropping off the internet and after 3 or 4 visits the engineer suggested I contact EPH who suggested the issue may be something to do with the Virgin Media WiFi ? The did send me another gateway unit just in case, and that has been installed with no improvement. So the question I have is, could the WiFi signal be the problem? I should add that we have no other issues with anything at all connected to the WiFi, and the signal strength seems fine. TIA.73Views0likes7CommentsSolid redline on my hub3

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!?Solved383Views0likes22CommentsHub keeps going off / updating
I’m on a Hub 3.0 and everything was perfectly fine until about 3 or 4 days ago. I upgraded my Virgin Media plan from M350 to M500 since I was on a rolling contract, and ever since the change the hub keeps shutting itself off and then rebooting. It’s already happened four or five times while I’ve been home, and my family said it’s also happened a couple of times when I wasn’t around. Each dropout takes a good ten to fifteen minutes before the connection comes back, sometimes longer. At first I assumed it was the hub being updated for the new plan, but this has been going on for days now. When upgrading I believe I was informed the new plan would start from 11th December. As we speak, the connection was lost 10-15 mins ago and I'm using my mobile hotspot to drop this message. Can someone from VM check what’s going on their end?90Views0likes6CommentsHub 3 Continuous Red - Being told changing stories
My Hub 3 light has been red for several weeks now. I have done all the things to do online. Full Reset. Checking Cables. Turning off and on - all with no change Tried contacting via chat and was told there was nothing to worry about and probably just doing a firmware update (!?). Next time was told its just the LED's age ?? Internet does drop on occasion. More so between Wi-fi and my TV box. Happens constantly meaning catch up or streaming is unavailable. Anyone else having same issues.62Views0likes3Comments
