High power levels affecting connection.
Hi, I have recently moved house and below are my current power levels already with a 6db Wideband Attenuator attched, which was left by the previous owner of the house. I am having some connection issues now and then along with quite a few daily "DBC-REQ Mismatch " warnings in the hub network log so it seem the 6db might not be enough. Please can i request an engineer so this can be looked into :) Kind regardsMoving router to upstairs at the back of the house.
Hi We have recently purchased a property with the old owners using virgin before, we went with virgin media, I got the home install kit just to get it online asap whilst we decided what rooms will be what. I would now like the router moving to my office at the back of the house upstairs, the router is currently in the living room at the front of the house downstairs. I would like to book an engineer out to carry out this move and then test all the lines to make sure we are getting the correct speeds, as we use this for working from home and gaming so we need it the best it can be! Thank you MatthewUnable to link virgin media account to virgin media O2 ID account - Need to change engineer visit!
I've had a text saying an engineer is coming on the 23/07/25 which I can't be there for as my tenancy doesn't start until the 1st (Hence why I initially asked for 02/08/25). I tried logging in to change the date and was prompted to link my Virgin Media account and Virgin Media O2 ID. When I try I get an error saying: “We’ve found your Virgin Media account However, this account is linked to an email address that’s different to the one on your Virgin Media O2 ID. If you’d like to continue and link your Virgin Media account to your Virgin Media O2 ID, please confirm the full email address your Virgin Media account is currently registered to. We’ll then send an email to that email address to approve the transfer.” Additionally, if I try "I forgot my email", on Virgin Media I get the message: "The email address on your Virgin Media O2 online account is: [object Object]. Use this email address to sign in to your account." I need this sorted ASAP as I can't cancel the engineering visit without it! I've called but the useless robot interface keeps hanging up on me and not understanding what I need!Shady tactics and lies - avoid
I write this in hope someone will read in the future and spare themselves the experience of opening an account with Virgin. I had the terrible idea of signing up woth them. I spoke with a salesman who assured the contract was full fibre. When the contract came, the wording on it were for hybrid broadband. I called back immediately to cancel and a very rude employee called John Paul told me that I couldn't cancel my account because it wasn't in the system yet. I managed to speak with the salesman again, who revealed he wasn't really sure about hybrid vs full fibre and offered to send an engineer the day after. I agreed. The engineer never showed up. When I called them back, I learned the engineer appointment was mysteriously cancelled without notification (they couldn't tell me by whom or why of course), so I had spent the whole Saturday morning waiting for the engineer for nothing. I finally was able to cancel (which is very hard to do, they keep making excuses) but of course my O2 account, part of the package, that was opened by the Virgin Media saleaman, needed to be cancelled separately, so another 1/2 hour of phone call, verification, explanation etc. On the phone service, it's almost impossible to speak to a human operator: the only way is saying that you're thinking of cancelling, they'll put you through the retention team who can't do anything, but they'll eventually transfer you to the other teams. Even getting there is hard: the voice password system doesn't work, and you have to dial in your password after 3 attempts. Imagine an old person trying to cancel or fix something, they'll never be able. Obviously there is no option for "the engineer never showed up", and if you select the wrong option you will descend into robocall help until they tell you to go to the website and hang up. All operators are from Asian countries, thick accents, hard to understand. A scam, hopefully the regulator looks into those shady practices.Please dont make me call CS again
Hi Team, Besides the constant passing around and difficulties in speaking to someone who can help me in the CS teams - I have gotten to stage 2 of having tech team one, come run the cables to my house (barring doing a blood sacrifice with Virgin over the phone to get this sorted), I am now stuck in the next level of of purgatory in waiting for an engineer to come to my house to run the cable to a router. The house is a newly built one and the couriers cant find the address after trying over 3 days - also not being able to even call and speak to comeone to help arrange (thanks Yodel) so I have no Starter kit (of which I have ALREADY mentioned countless times to the CS people and no it wont allow me to change delivery options either) and no new confirmation of an engineer coming for the next round. And finally when trying to log into the Virgin website to check appointments on mobile or pc - your cookie policy pop up is so broken that I cannot even accept them for it to go away and I can check the scheduler! Im so close to calling it quits with Virgin and I havent even started the service. This is my final Hail Mary, send help :( AlexEngineer no-show
I booked an engineer when we signed up 13th April to arrive an install today. Noone has turned up and I've just spoken to customer service who told me: My installation was cancelled; My parcel is with Yodel He couldn't tell me when the installation was cancelled and that's when he said Yodel were delivering it. Now I know that Yodel aren't installing any wall sockets so not sure why they'd have a package for me when I've booked an engineer installation. I know the process has been started because my current provider have been notified, so that means I'm without internet from tomorrow. What is going on and what do I do about getting an engineer out to install the kit I need??Self Install but need engineer
I placed an order for Virgin wifi and tv to be installed and placed the order through an 02 store. I did ask to book an appointment for the 3rd of May however when i received my email confirmation there was no mention of a booking date at all. I received the self install equipment today however the wall socket is outdated so a new one needs installing. Do I need to call up to make an appointment or can I book online? TIA [Mod - title edited for clarity]Wifi and upload nightmare issues.
Across all our devices for the last 4 months wifi connected devices are intermittently not loading, they just drop off to mobile data or say connected no Internet. We are on the gig bundle. When doing Sam knows tests all looks fine but it's not. The engineers even experienced it when here. When doing speed test downloads speeds are fine but errors out on upload. Had 3 engineer visits, a new hub a new booster, One engineer said he found a ghost network. Even when all hubs etc where off still showing the network. It's driving us crazy, wifi tvs connect and seconds later lose the network again. As do all mobile devices, laptops etc... Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated
