Intermittent signal in your area.
I've had the whole day with no Internet as for some reason when I tried to do a status check I get a message saying intermittent signal in my area. There are no ongoing works in my area according to virgin website and my hub seems to be OK, as in there's no abnormal lights or signals showing. All my devices are connected to the hub however all of them say they don't have Internet access. I have tried tirelessly to get into a live chat but for some reason virgin make it near impossible to actually access this feature as it's nowhere to be found on their website which is why I've had to come here. I'm not waiting 24 hours for a possibility of my Internet returning like virgin are suggesting, I'd like access to the service I'm paying for. I'd understand if this work a planned works but as far as I'm aware it isn't.4th day with no broadband
Hi, our broadband went down at some point on Wednesday and here we are 4 days later, no explanation and no apology. The status checker shows that there is a problem in our area and that projected fix date is June 30th. This really is the shoddiest of services as I am unable to work, we have no Netflix or catch up services and the hub just sits there flashing green day after day. Is anyone able to explain what is going on and why it is taking so long?SYNC 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. SYNC Timing Synchronization failure Started Unicast Maintenance Ranging - No Response received - T3 time-out 16 consecutive T3 timeouts while trying to range on upstream channel 0High Jitter & Packet Loss to Riot Servers
Hi, I’ve been experiencing “network problem” errors in Valorant despite stable ping and high speeds. I ran PingPlotter to Riot’s EU server (IP: 104.160.141.3) and noticed: 0% loss/jitter inside home network 100% loss and high jitter begins at hop 3 Speed tests show unstable throughput and ~23ms jitter This seems like a routing issue on Virgin’s side. Can this be escalated or checked? Happy to share logs or screenshots. Thanks!Extremely High Uncorrectable Errors – Major Connection Instability
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, KellyHub 5 - Deco X20 Issues
Hi folks, having some issues with my network setup at home wondering if anyone has any advice or suggestions. So about a year upgraded broadband package and got sent out the hub 5, was previously on super hub 2 which was very stable and reliable. Got the hub 5 installed and it was rubbish with internet connection constantly dropping. Had a couple of engineers out, they couldn't find any solutions so did a bit of research and found the deco X20. Set it up, hub 5 in modem mode, main deco in router mode and 2 other units placed in other parts of the house. Worked fantastic, very stable and full coverage all over the house, even got around to wiring up the second deco via ethernet for even better signal. Fast forward a few months ago, having nothing but issues, deco gets the red light, connected no internet then get the flashing red light on hub. Hub comes back to green, sometimes deco comes back itself sometimes it doesn't and needs a reboot. Had 2 engineers first one mentioned some kind of power issue causing the hub 5 to reboot all the time and the apparent solution was tweaking the cable which goes into the hub. After that was sent a new modem, same issues after setup with decos, second engineer couldn't find any faults but I wasn't at home at the time to ask him any questions, when I did get back, I found the hub had been reset and back to its default WiFi mode, no idea why he did that. So the last time I spoke to customer service they mentioned ruling out an issue with my router setup, I was skeptical because the hub was showing flashing red lights so I assumed it was an issue with isp connection. However I gave it a shot, removed all the decos, reset the hub 5 and it's now running in WiFi mode with a stable connection over the last few days. The issue is the dead spots around the house, which the decos were the perfect solution for. Any ideas on why the decos are suddenly the issue, I've reset them various time, upgraded the firmware, set up auto reboot for early hours, even changed them to ap mode with the hub in normal WiFi mode but no luck. It seems like the deco setup is causing some interference with the internet connection causing the hub to crash as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated, apologies for the long read just wanted to give full context.Hub 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.PACKET LOSS/DROPS
I've been having issues where my connection experiences spikes and complete dropouts, 30 minutes apart. I have been running BQM since Friday 6/6/25, as you can see in the attached graph from 8th-9th, the space between drop outs are quite consistent. I have: - Fully reset to factory settings. - Disabled IP Flood Detection (suggested solution on another site) - Tested other devices (another PC, 4 Phones, Xbox Series X, 2 TVs) all experience the same connection issues. - Pinged various IP Addresses and all came back with no loss. I am connected via Ethernet to the 10gbps port, my PCs ethernet port is compatible with those speeds: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/812c9d78-d2e7-4766-9f17-9cd7acd688b1 Other devices are Wifi (PC is Wifi 6, rest are 5ghz/2.4ghz) Package Info: 2gig up and down These are my router stats: PON modem status Online Connection mode IPOE IPv4 firewall Online IPv6 firewall Online IP_VOIP Down IP_DATA Up Transceiver temperature 29 Transceiver voltage 3 Laser bias current 12 ONT transmit power 5200 ONT receive power -16400 Network access Allowed Baseline Privacy disabled PON Mode XGS-PON 09-06-2025 11:12:46 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 11:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:31:20 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:31:14 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:37 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:06 notice GUI Login Status - Login Fail from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:36:50 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 09:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:37:10 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:37:00 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:36:49 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:36:39 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:36:59 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed The network logs go much further, with regular error messages stating "IPoE IPv4 ping failed". This will be the 2nd router I am on, having the 1st replaced by an engineer for similar issues. Frankly, at £96 per month, I expect a far superior service. The speeds are good, sure, fantastic even. But it's no good having "lightning speeds" when you can't use them! If anyone else is experiencing this issue, or similar, please feel free to contribute your findings. VM, I eagerly await your advice/solutions as this is now affecting my employment. Regards.Constant Disconnects / SYNC Timing Synchronization failiure
Internet Frequently disconnects multiple times a day for up to 5 minutes rendering it completely unusable. Sometimes if i check the logs it is accompanied by a SYNC Timing Synchronization failiure but often disconnects are not accompanied by one. Been happening for at least a month. Multiple router restarts and the problem persists.
