Extending connectivity across circuits
Hi. We have had an extension built and power in the new part of the house is on a different circuit different consumer unit/fuse box. I’m looking to move my study into a room in the new bit but the WiFi is not completely reliable (maybe due to being on the other side of the old external double skin wall). What’s the best way for me to do this? I have some dlink plugs to put Ethernet over the mains, but as it’s a different circuit this doesn’t work… and a long Ethernet cable down the corridor isn’t ideal (I have a Hub5). Many thanks DanNo internet for 4 days now
A technician cut our cable without warning or explanation outside my home on Thursday (31st July) I called Virgin Media the same day to inform them of this to which they said an engineer would show up the following morning (Friday) to fix the issue but no one showed up. My household has been left without any internet for 4 days and my household members are having to pay out of pocket for data. The next available engineer visit is on the 8th which is simply unacceptable. Automatic compensation hasn’t been applied to my account either despite me informing a rep on 31st July about this issue. Terrible service all around and I’m very displeased. I’d appreciate if a rep could escalate this for me as soon as possible.WiFi Speed is fluctuating.
Recently switched from 70mbps to Virgin 125. Noticed that the WiFi speed fluctuates a lot. I have done some speed test on my phone in the same place within minutes apart and it changes a lot I think. When I was streaming with BT on 70mbps my tv never buffered but it is buffering with Virgin's supposedly faster broadband. Is this normal or there is something wrong?Broadband Dropouts - slow speed– SYNC Timing Errors
I’m experiencing ongoing broadband dropouts that closely resemble the issues described in the following community threads: Broadband connection keeps dropping SYNC Timing Synchronization failure – Loss of Sync My Virgin Media Hub is currently operating in modem mode, and I’m using an ASUS GT-AX11000 router to manage my home network. The dropouts affect both Wi-Fi and wired (LAN) devices, including critical appliances connected directly to the router. Symptoms include: Sudden and repeated loss of internet connectivity across all devices Devices remain connected to the router but lose access to the internet Dropouts occur randomly, sometimes multiple times per day Router logs show normal operation, suggesting the issue is upstream Given the similarity to the SYNC Timing Synchronization failures described in the community posts, I suspect this may be a signal-level or infrastructure issue. I’ve already: Verified all coaxial and Ethernet connections Updated router firmware Monitored logs and confirmed no local faults Could you please: Review the line signal levels and error logs from your end Confirm whether SYNC or RCS errors are present on the hub Advise if an engineer visit is required to inspect the line or cabinet I’d appreciate your support in resolving it promptly.

For about a week now I have been experiencing frequent drop outs and speeds well below what is “guaranteed” by the gig1 fill fibre package and hub 5x. I called virgin media and was told they detect no issue, yet the problem has persisted. This WiFi package was only installed about 3 weeks ago and for 1 week it is has been dropping out.

Wifi takes forever to start up
Every time I restart my Virgin Media Hub 4, it takes about 5 minutes to get the steady white light back. Then it takes a further 15 minutes to get a 5GHz wifi signal back. Until then, nothing. I would chat to customer services, but chat doesn't work on my laptop. Still, YouFibre has just started operating here so they might be a better bet!Hub 3.0 Solid Red Light
Hi all, I think this is a fairly common issue but my Hub 3 router (in modem mode) has had a solid red status light now for a few weeks but I hadn't noticed any issues so not bothered about it. However, yesterday and this evening I have noticed WiFi issues from the WiFi router connected. If have checked the WiFi device (TP Link X55) and that all appears fine. Yesterday it was down to sub 1MB though. I have tried the turn off and on again approach and tried resetting but the red light persists. Anyone have any other options? Thanks all.
