slow speed to hub5
Hi All hopefully someone can help or advise on this issue that I have been experiencing since September 2024 i upgraded to the 1Gig package from my previous 350meg in Feb of 2024 along with this they also upgraded the hub from the hub3 to the hub5. Initially it was all fine for a while the hub was receiving the 1Gig speed coming into the home according to samknows/realspeed checker - then from September 2024 onwards the hub itself is not receiving anywhere near to that sort of speed. please see screenshot below - did this check while writing this post. i always get around 200 average coming into the hub5 for whatever reason. Virgin Media engineers have been out to my home on several occasions since this issue has started - i have had 6 visits so far till date and they still cant fix this speed issue. throughout these visits they have re-pulled the cabling with brand new cable on the outside, they also replaced the cabling internally with new cable, they have also checked the cabinet on several occasions, also have replaced the cable box on the inside of the home, and have also replaced the hub5 once so far BUT the issue still exists... still not getting the 1Gig speed... i am frankly fed up with this i feel like i should be entitled to some sort of compensation as the agreed speed is not being delivered to the hub itself thus is a breach of contract. during my time on the 350meg package on the hub3 i never had this sort of issue - always received the full speed coming into the hub - this has only been happening since upgrading to 1Gig if anyone else on this community forum has experience similar issues like this please can you assist in advising what can be done or how to resolve this issue, thanks!!146Views0likes4CommentsRandom speed drops and network status errors
Hi. I am having issues with my router speeds, it's been an ongoing issue on and off for a while. Whenever I call Virgin media about it they say everything is working fine and they try to schedule an engineer visit but it's difficult for me to find the time so I end up not booking one. If I can fix my issues without an engineer it would be preferable, I haven't had issues like this before until the end of last year when I changed from the 250MBPS package to the 350MBPS package. My issue is this, randomly at times (usually when I try to download something) I will notice that my download speed is well below normal, I only notice this sometimes when I am downloading something because I don't do random speed checks etc. When I do notice this I do a speed test and I see that I am getting between 75-85mbps. At first I would restart or factory reset my router and the speed would return to normal but now even that doesn't work sometimes and I am stuck with slow speeds for an unknown amount of time. I checked the network status page and I am noticing lots of warnings and critical errors in the log, I don't understand it at all and I am not sure if it is linked but I have noticed them almost daily. If anyone can help I would appreciate it, I use an ethernet cable connected to my PC and also wifi for my iphone, I am the only person who uses it with only them 2 devices connected at all times so it is not an overloading issue. Also, I am sat about 10 feet away from my router most of the time also. Secondly, I also had received a new router around 1 month ago to see if that would fix the issue but it has not. I will post the network status errors below.63Views0likes3Comments
