NEW PACKAGE - upstream channel missing
HI, so been with virgin since the 90's at multiple addresses, just phoned the diabolical phone number for help and got none and i think lies on recorded call. 2 days ago i renewed on live chat which is never a good idea. so we agreed on 1130 broadband only gig package all agreed, then i get the contract after the fact, which states it is a volt package, which i did not agree to i have transcripts it was for gig1, so im now worried as i have cancelled my o2 monthly sim not a phone deal just sim had it for years till the price got so high it was no longer viable with all the others now. Today they done the update to my router and disaster my upstream has only 1 3.0 docsis channel no 3.1 upstream at all, IP address in 200 miles away again. downstream is ok so i thought here we go again ill just cancel contract as have time, rang vm eventually got through the incredibly long options process, and asked to speak with retention's she said it was but i think it was over seas as it sounded very low and far away you know when its not local, i record all phone calls so no lies can be told and she assured me i do not need o2 sim so ok fine lets proceed, she was nice regardless, but dont know the technical so she transferred me to what i can only describe as a crazy person i tried to describe the issue with upstream he asked about my tv service which i haven't had for years, while making this weird noise over and over again i asked him to stop as i could not understand him without the clicking noises he was making, i asked politely does he know what i am referring too he said yes but did not know what i was talking about, then it went silent and eventually he hung up, he was not technical. Another thing i noticed is my new contract offer was deceptively inaccurate, it stated on my account im currently paying £49 odd when im paying £44.44 after the rises so my new carry on contract was offered as £49 odd i wasnt being charged that, they offered cheaper without my phone line so took that off was assued it wouldnt effect my router is this the cause of my upsteam channel only having 1 docsis 3.0? many thanks. HELP PLEASE. P.S why am i never sent an email about my contract finishing? luckily i checked or i would be losing money as usual. Can someone let me know how to upload modem stats please so it dont say your post contains invalid HTML etc it used to be so easy.

Good morning, I've tried call the virgin media phone line but get locked into a never ending cycle with the bot. Basically, swapped to virgin about a month ago and ever since we did the router disconnects all connected devices roughly once a week. The fix isn't difficult, we then have to unplug the router and let everything reconnect - not awful fix but very inconvenient especially with how much were paying! How do we fix this?55Views0likes3CommentsNeed to order another Pod
The engineer who installed my system didn't bother checking the signal strength before he left, he just gave me 1 pod then left as he was finished his shift, but even with that plugged in I'm only getting 4mbps in the office room and 9mbps in the guest bedroom, I'm paying for the gig1 package so I should be able to get 3 pods, but even just 1 extra would fix my issue but trying to get in contact with anyone is impossible that's why I've turned to this as I'm desperate, only had it installed for 1 day and already not happy, I've done the samknows tests and there's no way too order the pods online that doesn't send you around in circles 😢😢😢60Views0likes4CommentsTrying to order a second WiFi pod.
Trying to order a 2nd WiFi pod. I am a volt customer so can get up to 3. Our first one was in our main bedroom but we recently switched to a streaming box, we have had to move the pod into the 2nd bedroom to stop the stream box buffering. Now we have no WiFi signal in the main bedroom. I have used the connect app to scan and it says I have poor signal but will not give me an option to order another one. I am reluctant to call up as I recently spent over 4 hours on the phone over 2 days recently trying to upgrade my package ad chat isn’t very helpful can’t seem to get past the bot. Please can someone from virgin help.31Views0likes2CommentsFunny 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.78Views0likes2Comments
