Hello due to my circumstances I am on the Essentials package and have had nothing but trouble with it Signal keeps dropping and today they said there's an intermittent fault they are working on and I had no signal at all for a while I am a Grandmother who is raising her teenage Grandson with Autism on her own He NEEDS to be connected to the internet for his well being as even at 18 he watches Cbeebies and his favourite music video's as his mental age is around 6 and he has limited speech I need the internet too as everything is done online and I need it to work! I also do not drive so shopping online is essential My area seems to suffer a lot of internet issues and only an O2 mobile signal ( just about ) works in this area , NO other mobile provider signal and we are not even out in the sticks , but almost! I am thinking of UPGRADING to a Volt internet package if possible as I am on a basic £8 a month O2 mobile contract I tried ringing VM today but I was too late ( after 6pm ) but this LOW signal is getting me down now and big man get's distressed when we LOSE signal completely like today or it goes super slow etc!! :-( It took me 2 hours yesterday to do a simple Just Eat grocery shop for essentials as it was SO slow indeed! I have had so many promises from VM over the years , am told to reset router etc but nothing helps and I was wondering if I change the package to the VOLT M250 which is only £3.99 more than what I am paying would it actually make a difference in having good internet connection over poor connection and speeds please? It seems to be the actual connection which is poor and intermittent rather than the speed being the issue? Which worries me I tried the pods but they did absolutely nothing at all!! I do currently just have the 54Mbps package ( the highest Mbps on the Essentials social tariff ) and on the Volt package it is 264Mbps for their most inexpensive package I don't suppose we would get a new router with the switch? My concern is this one is around 3-4 years old Also my concern is if I get hooked into the Volt 24 month contract and the signal is still rubbish I am STUCK and cannot leave! :-( :-( I am SO unsure as what to do and any advice would help please??Solved86Views0likes4Commentsslow upload speeds
In any country wanting to support digital industries, the upload speed would be the same as download. 8 years ago, Singapore had services that provided 10Gbps up- and download speeds. But Virgin is still providing a deliberately throttled upload speed. It is taking days to upload a 1TB set of files. As soon as the providers that provide a fast upload speed appear in my area, I shall be moving. Even if Virgin manages to do the same thing, I shall run away from a firm that has been deliberately making my life difficult for years.30Views0likes2CommentsVirgin what have you done - Hub 5X

My internet speed the last few weeks has been incredibly slow compared to what it was before. Typically I have been able to break at least 50mb/s on my computer but as of the last few weeks I can barely break 20mb/s with occasional dips to <10mb/s for considerable periods of time. I have gone through each step typically recommended on the status check website including: resetting the router, changing position and re-plugging. I've even tried alternative methods like changing my DNS IP on the computer to see if that was the issue but to no avail. If anyone could please look into my router for me I would really appreciate it. I can provide the name account holder and additional details if needed. I will also confirm that this is not an issue with my computer as the Wi-Fi is also very slow even when I'm right next to the router. FYI I use an ethernet cable.

7 days in on the 1GB service, the connection to my devices is up and down. Depends who’s doing what…. Never had this on BT 900. So got me questioning the equipment supplied, the service (is it over subscribed and can’t deliver), poor quality installation?, who knows. Too many variables. Spoke with a few in the area who have taken the service on all have said issues to begin with, installation and or service related. I’ve had a taste of the customer service line this week got me wondering is it really worth it. I’ve heard all the ‘it takes 48 hrs or 10 days to settle down’ depends if you speak to CS or the sales contact. Ditch and switch whilst I still can in the 14 day cooling off?Solved333Views1like12CommentsPaying for 1gig and getting 245kbps!!!

Recently had 1Gig VM broadband installed at my home. I've been trying to order the wifi boosters/pods as I know my package comes with up to 3 included if there are dead zones or speeds of less < 30mbps. I've used the app to scan some areas around my house and getting less than <30mbps speeds. I'm not seeing options to order the wifi pods through the app despite me doing the speed tests? Is anyone able to help with this at all? Getting through to anyone on the phone lines is near enough improssible as well.95Views0likes4CommentsPoor WiFi speed in every room!
I am currently on the M500 plan and have a broadband speed of 276.30mbps in the lounge where the WiFi box is. However as soon as I leave this room the speed drops to 39.36 downstairs and 3.42 upstairs. This is not sustainable. I have seen people able to get boosters free of charge due to virgin not offering the service set out. Does anyone know if this is a possibility or how I can fix the issue without paying an extra £10pm for each booster!123Views0likes4Comments
