Broadband Outage - Partial Services (DS Only)
My broadband has been dropping out since Thursday. Virgin flagged the issue that same day and the service status on my account was updated, but the fix date keeps shifting. It seems it was area wide. It was meant to be sorted Friday morning and has now moved to Monday 24 November. My Hub 5 is in modem mode, and I’ve rebooted it, powered it off, and tried every usual step. Nothing changes. The connection still cuts out without warning. Speed is around 180-230mbps when I should be getting 500mbps. There are loads of pre and post RS errors on the downstream channels. On the home page of the modem the internet status says Partial Service (DS Only) in red. I work from home, so this has caused a real mess. Sky Stream keeps freezing, and things got so unreliable that I’ve ended up staying at my in-laws over the weekend just to get work done. They’re on Virgin too, and their speed is completely fine, which makes the whole situation even more confusing. Can someone explain what’s going on with this fault, why the fix date keeps slipping, and whether anything can be done in the meantime to keep the line steady?Not getting no were near the amount of MBPS i am meant to get
So recently noticed when i have been downloading games etc on my PC i have been getting roughly 8MBPS, i am paying for M250 Which says i should receive around that, but im getting no were near that.. Im running wired not wireless so should have quicker speedsslow 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.Virgin what have you done - Hub 5X
My Internet never best but could handle Teams and Roblox and didnt Buffer and i could download Last Wednesday Outage Last Thursday Firmware Update Since been awful Virgin say is a problem and then say all resolved , spent hours on chats , emailed CEO , log a complaint they close it :(Embarrassingly slow speed
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.

so I’m paying for the 1gig package have been for about 3months now… Iv never had 1gig speeds I have connect a LAN cable and tested like this… the most I have had is 820mb and now I’m currently getting 0.0301 and that is the hub 5 this is ridiculous when the company are advertising to be the fastest internet provider.. and this was tested on Sam knows real speedVirgin Media Pods - Hub 5x
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.
