Internet (wired and wireless) keeps cutting out even after 2 engineer visits
Hi virgin, Our internet keeps cutting out at random times during the day we've had an engineer check the cabinets, replace the coax cable, replace the hub but it all keeps dropping out. I am unsure what to do anymore as these drop outs are getting ridiculous77Views0likes0CommentsIntermittent Internet and high amounts of packet loss
For the past few weeks we’ve been having intermittent connections for both Ethernet and WiFi. At the start it wasn’t that bad and went off maybe once in the day but in past few days it’s been constantly going off. I’ve got an engineer booked in but that’s not until the 6th, it’s physically impossible to work from home for mine and my partners jobs due to us requiring a constant connection. I’ve followed the app process of generally turning it off and on as well as resetting the router on the off chance there was an update. We only moved over to Virgin in July with no problems but this is just unacceptable. I know the image below is for times when we don’t use it but it’s been constant dropped packets all morning. I know I’ve seen so many others having this exact same issue for a few weeks so it can’t be equipment in the house unless everyone’s got a faulty hub or everyone’s fibre cables have just given up.54Views0likes1CommentWiFi stops working after midnight after every few weeks
Last night, my doorbell cam stopped recording after midnight and ever since. My Electric car charger also didn't charge my car (it's scheduled to charge my car after midnight). All phones seem to be getting internet, but something funny is going on with the superhub because this happens every few weeks. Once I go to the SuperHub settings page and reboot, the doorbell camera starts working again. The last time this happened was 16th November at around 12:51am. Could you check the logs to see what happened please?132Views0likes14CommentsBroadband Issues Since Friday

is it normal for a traceroute via new york to be normal? my latency since UPGRADING has gone from 18ms to 40ms, and i'm being routed through new york, call center say this is the same for everyone, is this true? or have i just been swapped onto an incorrect CMTS?

Hello, Today at 1pm, the internet went down and it hasn’t worked on since (it is 22:30 now). No outages in my local area. It is constantly flashing green on the hub. Ive contacted virgin media support and they recommend the pin reset and wait an hour. Still nothing is working. I have a technician coming on Friday (3 days from now), to help fix the problem. I did ask for the technician to come sooner, as I need the internet for work. But it wasn’t possible apparently. However, I work from home utilising the internet. So for the next 3 days I won’t have any internet and won’t be able to use it for my work. Am I able to get compensation? Is there anything I can do to speed things up or just to get it working again!? Thanks, Sam.54Views0likes2CommentsHUB 4 loosing Internet connection
Since today having issues with HUB 4 : I use it in modem mode (been like that for over a year, never had issues). This morning noticed not any device could access internet . Rebooting the HUB sorted the issue for a couple of hours then issue appeared again. So every couple of of hours the HUB needs rebooting. I tried to log into the HUB (wired) i spotted a strange ip assigned to my device in 169.254.xx.xx, and i could get to the admin page via HTTP. after reboot it went back to 192.168.100 and could log in. The hub keep its green light all the time, like there were no issues. What the hell is going on, why the hub is doing that?100Views0likes7CommentsPoor signal Hub3
Firstly I am not the best with technology and understand jargon and to be honest have little patience so jargon for dummies please. We have HUB 3, modern way of living everything is done via apps , on your phone and wireless, there is no getting away from it. we are on M250 broadband. Have virgin for landline and broadband .got TV but basic as it was cheaper , yeah go figure but don’t use it as we have SKY TV. RING doorbell, HIVE and the smart TV frequently goes down with loss of signal/poor connectivity/weak signal. i know they say don’t have routers next to TVs or phone etc but come on, no one’s is running a wire for their hub to sit in the middle of a room away from these things. So yes TV on console unit, router under 1.5feet away on shelf sitting next to virgin box, sky box and telephone. House has an extension and in it those RCB steel joist things, so I have had to use or try and use an extender upstairs in hall, and for boys Xbox’s I had to get a power line that’s router to socket behind and then they have the other side in the rooms from Socket. i didn’t think we had that many things , I’d say we have 4 phones, 2 Xboxes and 3 laptops…however the app says we have 21 items connected. So you forget you have fire sticks, alexa’s, smart lights Alex operates in boys rooms, ring doorbell bell , cameras and chime, hive thing and thermostat for boiler the TVs themselves, so yeah there is a lot using WiFi. so I wondered about upgrading to the m500, on app our current package ends apr 26. I didn’t know was this increase till end of package or is it going to be another 18months and does that mean the current price changes and more than doubles in April as not paying that but the advisor on chat couldn’t answer that, could offer me the m500 at £72 a month, eh mate I click on the app for £7.85 a month so £42 why would I pay £72..they were sorry to hear that! anyway digressed, weak signal does anyone know as the advisor couldn’t confirm , would moving to m500 make the signal strength any better to stop things disconnecting ? If It does help and i do move to pay the extra 7.85 is that only till this contract end April or is it 18 months and what would the price be, current 35 add on m500 would be 42 but saying from April 2026 80- not a hope in hells chance If m500 wouldn’t help with weak signal -even now on my phone sitting 4feet away from Hub it’s only 2 bars - then is my Options to just grin and bear it till end of contract and move broadband to SKY as they already have me for TV.?!?! anyone have any ideas as it’s going to get worse the more modern technology has eventhing via WiFi. God help me if they make me get a smart meter as I presume that will need to connect also LOLSolved530Views0likes23CommentsLatency 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!?Solved231Views0likes20Comments
