How 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/Help on Returning Hub 3 Kit?
Hello, I am moving so I have cancelled my Virgin Wi-Fi. 10 days ago, I requested that a return kit be sent to me, as tomorrow I will be travelling so I wanted to send my Wi-Fi kit back before leaving. I received a confirmation email that Royal Mail has the return kit package a few days ago, but I still have not received it. Seeing as I am travelling tomorrow for 3 weeks, I will not be able to return my kit for that entire period. What can I do in this situation? I don't want to incur a late fee on returning my equipment simply because I was unable to without the return kit package. Any advice is appreciated!Hub3: The route(r) of all my problems
My old, perfectly working (but overheating, allegedly) Hub3 was recently replaced with another one of the same. (received August 2nd). Since then however, I have been unable to connect any of my Google Home smart devices. Two clock displays and an outdoor cam. Of the 14 days which have elapsed, I have literally been dealing with Google Support by email on at least 10 of those days. But we're getting nowhere fast. So much so, they are now at the point of offering me a credit for the online Google Store for the inconvenience. But I digress... All of my Google smart devices were working absolutely fine and have been for years. Until now. So, my question is: Are there any changes need to be made to the default settings of my Hub3 router? I do not recall making any specific changes in the past. But I find it extremely odd and frustrating that all was well until I received this new replacement Hub3. Seems to me to be where the problem(s) lie. I tried contacting VM Support initially by chat before coming on here, but I was immediately given a phone number for the Gadget Support Team which I believe is a pay service and I have no intention of doing that. I simply want to know if there's anything obvious I need to change in the Hub3 config. Please help!? You are my last hope before I am forced to ditch all Goggle Home smart devices and replace them with alternatives. (and hope that I do not face similar issues with those). Thanks in advance.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.
