Hub 5 dropping out
For the last two weeks we keep losing our internet connection. I have used the app to report the fault, messaged and phoned. We need to perform a factory reset at least once every 24 hours, but since it then works I seem unable to get support to resolve the root cause. I have currently been on the phone for 30 plus minutes trying to speak to someone again, but still without any joy. Any help or suggestions welcomed.No service for 3 weeks
F011698602 Had absolutely no internet, TV or phone for 3 weeks now. We have identified the problem and an engineer is on their way... where's he coming from? Absolutely useless customer service on the phone, just gives me same info as text updates, the repair just keeps getting delayed by 3 or 4 days all the time. It's like living in the dark ages! Plz someone get my net back!Funny yellow light
Yesterday our fibre broadband went down. Went through the steps to reboot it (Media Hub 5) and nothing has worked. After the initial white light on the hub it goes to a flashing yellow colour which i've not seen before and no internet. I have noticed that the power supply to the COAX splitter/converter has a light on it, which i think normally is a stable green. That PSU is now blinking green. Could this be the source of the issue? I run my business from home and no internet is a massive issue - any help hugely appreciated.Broken outside box, dangling wire
Hello, I am not a Virgin Media customer (yet... I might be if the below issue is resolved satisfactorily). I have recently moved into a house with a broken Virgin media box outside and a Virgin media wire dangling from beneath an upstairs window. I've been informed by various engineers that Virgin themselves need to fix these issues. How do I get in contact with anyone without a Virgin Media account? Can an engineer come to fix the box and remove the dangling wire? It's a hazard for anyone on the street.
Landline Dead
Using the 'Check SXTatus' reurns Broadband - no problem TV - Cannot connect to your TV Kit Landline - No problem However after rebooting TV box and router Internet access is OK on Home PC and Mob phones using WIFI to own router. TV system including On Demand, both through VM TV Box and through TV's own ethernet is OK Landline is dead - no tones at all. I replacde the Internal system with a simple handset connect direct to wall socket (we do not have the new Phone over IP service) - still no dial tone. Cannot phone in as the O2 service at my house is at best 1 bar and usually no bars- and today has no bars. Problem started lat Saturday afternoon during the storm when we had a power surge and lost power for about 30secs.Permanent Red Light HUB 3
My HUB 3 has a permanent red light. I have pin reset it. I have tried turning it off for 15 mins. All this can be seen I guess in the logs. It's positioned in a well ventilated area. It doesn't feel overly warm. I have noticed the service has not been as good last few days. Can it be replaced?Stream box disconnecting every time tv off
Received new stream box today as the one I’ve had for 2 months has never connected for more than a few hours and was faulty. Having spent an hour today in the phone getting the new stream box set up (rebooting the WiFi etc) as it wouldn’t find the stream, the same issue is happening. Either the tv doesn’t find the source or when I get onto virgin I either get not connected to the WiFi or no channels. The internet is connected. I have the Ethernet cable in too and have tried both connections. To get it to work again if the tv gets turned off means Resetting the modem, reconnecting the box and generally taking ages. Anyone else had issues like this as it’s beyond ridiculous. (We’ve had virgin for years but the stream box was to replace the older larger tv box (which always worked fine!)Speed halved after team messed with PEDCAP
Hi All, Last week a virgin team turned up at the end of our street, they were in the ducting and pulling out the PEDCAP’s under the street and in the green cabinet, which they failed to close properly. I will assume to fault find. I noticed when they left that the speed to my router had halved from nearly 1GB to around 480Mb. I have tried resetting the hub and it has made no difference, the in app guide just keeps telling me to rest the hub, but I really do not believe that to be the issue. Can anyone help please?Issues with a stable connection
I have a Hub 5 x on a GIG1 connection, the connection was fine and had little to no disconnections, over the 8 months it was working, on the 18/05/2024 the connection was disconnected due to an outage in the Accrington area, this was resolved within the day however the connection stability is so bad it is unreal, report was filed and they sent out an engineer who cleaned the fibres and that then said this should resolve, the first engineer cleaned all but one fibre in the cabinet, the second engineer came out and cleaned all the fibres, then after this as the issue was still happening I asked for them to replace the router and see if that could work, got an engineer out to install a new router, the issue was still happening I noted a couple of things, the speed is okay and works to the full speed when the line is working however the disconnections are many, the router by default has an MTU size of 2000 which is to big to be classed as a frame, if i set this down to the max frame size (1500) it then doesn't let me set it back to 2000, a factory reset sort this and sets it back to default, the resetting of the MTU to 1500 it didn't fix the issue and the disconnections still happen, looked further into it and the router is completely loosing all config of the line the image below is in the admin and info pannel, it shows the every time the internet cuts out, I have spoke to virgin over the phone got no where with them and i cant seem to get though to someone who wants to help, thinkbroadband.com results from the line do I raise a complaint or do I keep trying to get though to someone over the phone who will be able to help?
