Hub 3 needing reboot frequently
I have the M500 broadband package and a Hub 3 router which I understand is currently being replaced by Virgin Media with the Hub 5 router. Apparently speeds of 500mb are at the limit of this router. I think my router is now struggling as I have to reboot it every few days as it seems to lose its connection with my tv box and my Firestick. Rather than wait for "my turn" for an upgrade, how do I get hold of a new Hub 5 asap? I have tried the "web chat" but can't get to speak to a real person and I don't want to spend ages on a call. Any help will be appreciated.56Views0likes2Comments
Book engineer to check network
Hi, I am having trouble with my internet. It randomly drops out. I have 1gig internet, and intermittently it will drop to 30mbps. Resetting the router fixes it, however when I unplug the router, and plug it back in - it doesn’t connect to the internet. I have left it hours and it doesn’t ever connect. I can connect to the router, but the router doesn’t have internet. I have to unplug it a further 2-3 times, before it will connect to the internet. I did a network self test and it identified the router couldn’t connect with VM servers. An engineer came and replaced the router which didnt fix the issue. The engineer said somebody would have to come and take a look at the cabinet if replacing the router doesn’t fix it. How do I get an engineer to look at the cabinet please? When it happens, these are the error messages: SYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Failed to acquire QAM/QPSK symbol timing;;CM-MAC=(redacted);CMTS-MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.1; And when the internet is working but drops out randomly I get the error - DBC-REQ Mismatch Between Calculated Value for P1.6hi Compared to CCAP Provided Value My postcode is ME20 Thank you69Views0likes2CommentsEPH Gateway compatiblity
I have an EPH gateway used for controlling my heating via WiFi, and have used it for 3 years without issue. About 3 months ago it started dropping off the internet and after 3 or 4 visits the engineer suggested I contact EPH who suggested the issue may be something to do with the Virgin Media WiFi ? The did send me another gateway unit just in case, and that has been installed with no improvement. So the question I have is, could the WiFi signal be the problem? I should add that we have no other issues with anything at all connected to the WiFi, and the signal strength seems fine. TIA.159Views0likes7CommentsInternet only works between certain hours?
My internet connection has only been working properly between roughly 10:09am and 4:01pm every day, and this is now day 5 of the issue. Outside of those hours the service is basically unusable due to the upload speed dropping. I have run multiple speed tests and the pattern is exactly the same every day. Before 10:09am and after 4:01pm, my upload speed sits at around 0.20 Mbps, but between those hours it jumps to around 40 Mbps. I have made countless calls to Virgin Media and am getting nowhere. An engineer is due to visit today between 12pm and 4pm, but I am not hopeful as this clearly is not an isolated fault. I live in a block of flats and multiple neighbours in my block, as well as the block next door, are all affected by the same problem. One neighbour already had an engineer visit yesterday and was given a replacement router, which only worked for about 10 minutes before the issue returned. I am using a Hub 5 and have only been with Virgin Media for two months, so this is incredibly frustrating. Has anyone experienced anything like this before or got any ideas what could be causing such a specific, time-based upload issue? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!143Views0likes7CommentsWiFi speed expectations - 1/3 of the speed
Hi All, Just had a problem with my Hub fixed and now have a Hub 5 all working. Engineer said I wasn't getting full 1gb internet speeds but it should improve. I've just checked and I'm getting around 200 this morning, got about 330 yesterday evening. What could be the cause? Any ideas on how to fix?300Views0likes23CommentsHub 5 rebooting it self between 8pm - 10pm every night.
So as title states, for the last 2 weeks my virgin hub 5 has started to reboot it self any time between the hours of 8pm up until 10 pm that ive noticed. so i loose internet to all connected devices, wifi and wired for a few minutes. the white light on the hub starts flashing for a few minutes. This is not ideal. kids games consoles go off, we loose connection to our streaming services, and other smart devices around the home, including security. nothing has been manually changed in the hub. please help258Views0likes15CommentsHub 5x Installed – No Modem Mode? What Are My Options Now?
I’ve just had Virgin Media fibre installed and I’ve been given the Hub 5x. I’ve since learned that modem mode isn’t available and it’s not possible to use my own modem/router in a proper bridge setup. For my setup this is a major issue, I run multiple VPNs, custom routing and need full control of my network. The Hub 5x in its current state is basically unusable for my needs. I’m just trying to understand what my realistic options are now: Cancel the contract and move to another provider that allows bridge mode Check if Virgin Media Business can offer a proper modem/bridge solution Or… is there any confirmed timeline for Hub 5x to support modem mode? I want to stay with Virgin if possible, but without modem mode or the ability to use my own router properly, I’m not sure what the best path is. Any guidance or official updates would be appreciated626Views0likes4CommentsInternet (wired and wireless) keeps cutting out even after 2 engineer visits
Hi virgin, Our internet keeps cutting out at random times during the day we've had an engineer check the cabinets, replace the coax cable, replace the hub but it all keeps dropping out. I am unsure what to do anymore as these drop outs are getting ridiculous130Views0likes1Comment
