Intermittent signal
Hi, I’m after a bit of advice. i have a hub 5, 1 gig connection. i use my van hub 5 as main box, but also use a deco mensh upstairs to boost signal. I haven’t had any problems with this setup for around 2 years, until now . i received a text and email last week from VM advising of a slow connection problem at my address. I followed the instructions, reset and restarted the hub, but problem remained. i phoned customer service, they also ran a reset restart test and booked an engineer visit. They arrived Monday 8th September. The engineer initially couldn’t see any problems. He said the hub was fine and that they rarely have faults, he has only ever had to replace 2?! The connection box inside the house was fine along with the connectors. He checked the box outside the house and said that one of the connectors was about 1mm shorter than he would normally make them and that he has replaced it as this was causing the issue. I asked why it would suddenly be an issue now when it has worked fine for past 2 years and nobody has been near the exterior box or could have bumped it. But he couldn’t really answer. Was advised to give it 40 mins to an hour to settle down again, but showed me his device and that the speed was back up to 1145. After a little pressure he agreed that he would log, when he got back on his van, that a technician who can access the exchange also visit and check things over. This would probably be in 48 hours and that they wouldn’t need access to the property. i check again about 4 hours later and the speed had dropped down to 91mb download speed again. i phoned customer service again on the 8th, the advisor was surprised an engineer had been out as the hub hadn’t been restarted in 4 days. They again ran test and I completed a reset / restart and a power off. Finally resulting in the speed returning to 1145. This remained the same when I check around 8pm on the 8th. Today, the 9th, I ran a quick speed test this afternoon to check all good, but speed back down to 91mb! I checked my online account and it was still showing, intermittent signal error . i phoned customer service again, but this time got a very unhelpful advisor. They insisted that a new engineer had to visit to check the cables, connectors and hub to determine the problem. I advised they did this yesterday and that the engineer had agreed to log a technician to look at the exchange. I gave the advisor the engineers ID number, but apparently that doesn’t help. After several repetitive explanations of the engineer had already done these checks, the issue must be external in the exchange they agreed that they had booked a technician for Monday 15th. They wouldn’t need access to the property and that I should receive an email or text when they have been. I haven’t received and communication confirming this from VM, is this normal? I have also logged back into my account tonight to check if the ”intermittent signal error “ is still showing, but now it just shows I need to book an engineer visit. am I going mad, I haven’t got any faith that this is going to be resolved or if the advisor even booked a technician. He originally told me, several times, that that wasn’t a checkbox on his system, he could only request an engineer house visit. It was only when he disappeared for a minute and then retuned saying he would book a technician to check the exchange. I’m just after any advice if anyone else has experience with similar problem and what my best route to take is? im sorry this post is so long, but if you made it to the end, thank you 😂😀
Challenge Tv And E4+1 signal problems
I have just started to notice that the signal for the two above channels is very intermittent. All other channels are transmitting fine and I have no problems but these two are struggling. I’ve test the box and WiFi and it’s still doing it. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix?HUB 5 has been intermitent for over a month
Hello, my hub5 has been intermittent for over a month now. I have four engineers come out to take a look at the problem. First visit, the engineer said everything is fine made a few changes to some of the cables in the house to help with some noise. as some cables was leading to a terminal doing nothing. He believed it was a communial box issue. So-called about the box issue outside, and got sent another engineer, they just changed the cable at the back of the modem. third engineer came as they though the box was in my property, but I said it was the communial box. Fourth engineer arrived to replace the omni box instead, they checked and said it does not need replacing. I work from home, and the service that is being provided is not great. The internet being provided has been poor and the cause of the problem has still not been fixed after four visits. The internet is going offline every day, it's terrible during the day, and goes offline at night time.

Hello, keep having intermittent signal and had this issues for over 4 months now, it is really, really annoying. I have had an engineer come and it did nothing. The issue is daily but starting from thursdays and on the weekends it gets a lot worse. I cannot even write a complaint as the site says something went wrong. What can I do?Splitter - two tvs - signal strength issues - adjustment possibly required
Hi - I have two TVs receiving virgin TV via a splitter. TV 1 - diagnostics are telling me signal strength is Good TV 2 - diagnostics are telling me signal strength is Fair A virgin technician came round and reluctantly tested the connections and confirmed this but said that there was nothing more he could do. I told him that the signal strength coming into the property had never been adjusted to accommodate the two signals however he just shrugged his shoulders, told me that it was tough luck and left. (I was not impressed by this by way). Can somebody please let me know if a more enthusiastic technician can come out and explore the signal strength possibility please (trying to explain this on the customer helpline will not be easy)? Regards, Richard‘No Signal’ after TV box Welcome Screen
Turn TV box on, as normal. I get the ‘Welcome’ screen, as normal. ’Welcome’ screen disappears, as normal. Moments later, TV throws-up a ‘No signal’ error. There must have been signal to get the ‘Welcome’ screen, so not a cabling issue. Other devices working fine on WiFi, so don’t think it’s that. Have restarted the TV and box multiple times. No change! What do?Wifi not reaching our office- alternative options to extend beyond Wifi Pods
Hi everyone, looking for some advice. We currently have a Volt M250 package with Virgin. The signal generally has been good within the home, the issue is that our Wifi does not extend to our office. We live in a middle terrace & we have an outbuilding at the back of the property which functions as an office. Since moving in, we've been unable to get Wifi there. our telephone connection (& therefore Wifi hub) is at the front of the property. I've contacted Virgin who have provided two Wifi Pods which we have placed as far back in the property as we can in the hopes that it would extend the Wifi to the office, with no success. I think the issue comes that the pods have to essentially extend the network through two brick walls? The reason I say this is that the distance between the Wifi pods/extenders & the office is no more than 10-15feet. Anyway, my question now is what are our options? I'm left wondering if there is a stronger extender that may be able to fix the issue, or if I will need to bite the bullet & look into fitting ethernet cables to extend more effectively. Thanks
