Waiting for previous owners service to be disconnected
I have just moved into a new property as the new tenant. I am a new customer of Virgin Media and so set up an installation date for last week, only to get told that the old tenants have not disconnected their services. I was told that I am unable to set up our internet until the end of the month. I have been in contact with the letting agency, but the previous tenants are not responding to their emails. I know that other customers have been able to send proof of residency to get the previous tenants services disconnected but this has not been suggested to me. Any help would be appreciated as this is leaving me and my partner without internet when we work remotely. TIARegular dropped packets while gaming & T3 timeout errors
Hi all, Hoping I can get some help here as I have tried to use the online service checker and keep getting sent round in circles with rebooting the hub / factory resetting which hasn't resolved the issue. We have recently moved into this house a couple months back and since the install been receiving on and off issues with the stability of the network which is affecting working from home and online gaming. It will be fine for a few days then we will start seeing dropped packets / packet burst in gaming. When working from home this also kicks off the remote desktop sessions I use. Since this has started getting more frequent I have set up a BQM graph and hopefully the links below will work: 26th: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/8e0e268fee776ef7500c7d2376ceba20625b96c8-26-06-2024 27th: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/a47b50c4e9688abef5cf89e9bb5f36567846ca82-27-06-2024 Also logs from the hub - I have been keeping an eye on the number of timeouts and this seems to have reset recently as a couple days ago looked like this: If you need any more information let me know! Thanks.

Hi, I have been a customer with Virgin Media for around 9 years and I was paying for my services "out of contract" meaning I had already paid the minimum term. I recently bought a home and wanted to move my services to my new address, I requested that my services do not change and I just want to move them to the new address. After some back and forth I finally managed to do so - including paying the final bill at my old address and subsequently being double billed at my new address. This didn't bother me too much as I was just glad to have moved the services. I have noticed a huge drop in my internet speed at the new address and decided I wanted to switch provider as paying £69.90 a month for less than 30Mb/s seemed extortionate. Before doing so, I looked at the email I was sent when I moved houses and noticed that it is actually under contract again with a minimum term of 18 months - Is this just my old contract or will I have to pay an for an early disconnection fee of 15 months? Summary Customer for 9 years, paying for services "out of contract" (past the minimum term) Moved houses, requesting no changes to my package Internet speed is worse so wanted to switch provider Checked email I was sent after moving houses to see that I have a minimum term againHub 5 keeps disconnecting and flashing red
Hi I've had no luck getting through to a human on the phone so I hope this will help. For the last 24 hours our Hub 5 has been constantly losing connection. It regularly goes into a state where the red light flashes over and over. And even when it does come back on, sometimes we're left with only a 10th of what our internet speed should be. We had it fitted in December and it was fine until now. It's not overheating, is connected properly and is in a well ventilated area. We've tried all methods of refreshing, restarting and resetting and we're worried this issue will keep happening. Every time I call or check on the app/online it simply states that everything is fine, which is obviously not the case. It seems to be working fine now, but it's only a matter of time before it goes down again. We both work from home so this is affecting our work quite severely. Also, the WiFi connection is poor/non existent at the living room end of our flat (all one single level, ground floor), so if this could be addressed too that would be great, otherwise we'll have to explore other provider options. Any help will be greatly appreciated. A technician visit, a new hub, maybe pod extenders? Thank you.
