Intermittent Signal for 3 weeks
Hi everyone, For 3 weeks my internet will keep cutting out briefly every 2-3 hours, and this is happening on devices connected via WiFi and ethernet. Before this time it has worked great. I am on the Volt 1 Gig package with a Hub 5 and Flex TV. The online test keeps saying intermittent fault in the area, and that the connection will be monitored for 24 hours - but after 24 hours I get a message saying all is fine. If I re-run the test the cycle repeats with the intermittent signal message then all is fine after 24 hours. I have rebooted and also reset the hub. I was able to get an engineer booked for this Friday, but can anyone advise on this and any other steps that might help as it is interfering with my work. Friday was the earliest I could book due to work also. I have attached a screenshot of my Broadband Quality Monitor from today - it is is looking like this every day: [MOD - Image removed due to IP address]Solved300Views0likes12CommentsFrustrated with low speeds :-(
Hello due to my circumstances I am on the Essentials package and have had nothing but trouble with it Signal keeps dropping and today they said there's an intermittent fault they are working on and I had no signal at all for a while I am a Grandmother who is raising her teenage Grandson with Autism on her own He NEEDS to be connected to the internet for his well being as even at 18 he watches Cbeebies and his favourite music video's as his mental age is around 6 and he has limited speech I need the internet too as everything is done online and I need it to work! I also do not drive so shopping online is essential My area seems to suffer a lot of internet issues and only an O2 mobile signal ( just about ) works in this area , NO other mobile provider signal and we are not even out in the sticks , but almost! I am thinking of UPGRADING to a Volt internet package if possible as I am on a basic £8 a month O2 mobile contract I tried ringing VM today but I was too late ( after 6pm ) but this LOW signal is getting me down now and big man get's distressed when we LOSE signal completely like today or it goes super slow etc!! :-( It took me 2 hours yesterday to do a simple Just Eat grocery shop for essentials as it was SO slow indeed! I have had so many promises from VM over the years , am told to reset router etc but nothing helps and I was wondering if I change the package to the VOLT M250 which is only £3.99 more than what I am paying would it actually make a difference in having good internet connection over poor connection and speeds please? It seems to be the actual connection which is poor and intermittent rather than the speed being the issue? Which worries me I tried the pods but they did absolutely nothing at all!! I do currently just have the 54Mbps package ( the highest Mbps on the Essentials social tariff ) and on the Volt package it is 264Mbps for their most inexpensive package I don't suppose we would get a new router with the switch? My concern is this one is around 3-4 years old Also my concern is if I get hooked into the Volt 24 month contract and the signal is still rubbish I am STUCK and cannot leave! :-( :-( I am SO unsure as what to do and any advice would help please??Solved95Views0likes4CommentsHow do you get WiFi Pods sent?
Putting aside the terrible experience of the bot and the waiting times. Can anyone suggest how I can actually get one of the promised WiFi pods? I have 1Gb fibre and volt (whatever that is worth) but in parts of the house there is either no/intermittent WiFi or speeds <20Mbs. I have used the speed check app and dont get an option to order pods, I have raised a complaint which was closed as "they have resolved the local broadband issue", I have used the chat and eventually got to an agent who promised to send the WiFi pod to improve signal in those rooms. Last contact 2 weeks ago - no pods, no email saying they are coming. Anything else I can try to get the promised WiFi guarantee/51Views0likes2CommentsWiFi pods
I have had my new virgin wifi set up for a couple of weeks now and the signal is good close to the router but it doesn’t reach the rooms furthest away. I am a volt customer but I haven’t been able to order wifi pods through the wifi test as the test only works when I have wifi, which I don’t in this area! is there any other way to order? Thanks!59Views0likes2Comments3 pod con
I re-signed with Virginmedia SPECIFICALLY and ONLY because a Volt deal offered THREE free pods which I KNOW I need for my deadspot ridden house. No mention was made at the time by the VM sales rep - even though I specifically said I need 3 pods - that they are issued one at a time, and only after torturous proof that my connection is very regularly slow (<30mbps) in many parts of the house. So now I find that yes, they do really insist on sending one pod at a time. Such terrible customer service. I've only been a customer for 20 years and still they had to lieInternet crashing multiple times a day.
Hello, a few months ago we upgraded our wifi to Virgin Media's 1.1gbps internet, everything was running smoothly until recently where we've noticed that the internet keeps crashing/dropping connection. Whilst this has only occurred a couple of times for me on my ethernet, mobile devices seem to be having a lot of trouble, I also noticed some errors in the network logs aswell as some potentially abnormal readings on the upstream/downstream channels, if there are any tech experts out there I'd appreciate some advice on what this issue might be.Internet crashing and connection dropping.
