Renewed online but...
Because of the price increase, I had a look to see if I could renew online, and much to my surprise, it was offering me 250M for £20 less than the post-price increase I would have been paying for 125M, so I renewed. I got all the contracts (and printed them out) emailed to me. Emailed confirmation from "webteam". So I waited about an hour then restarted my modem to pull down the updated configuration file, and start enjoying the new speed.. However, the modems configuration file shows no changes after restarting the modem. How long is it going to take to get my new speeds please?

Volt Speed boost
Hello all, I have just joined and my partner at the same address has 02. Both of us have called and we are being told we only get double data. Is it true that we don't get a speed boost for free. I currently have m500 package. Thank you.

Can I change mid contract
Hello, This is probably common but I can't find my answer. We're on our second round of M125, currently at £35. The M350 is currently advertised for £27. Can I snag this deal even if I pay the exit fee? If there's one. I see it as if I still save overall more per month compared to the exit fee, it's a win

sudden decline in Mbps being reported by speedtest using Chrome
I routinely check and record my speeds to keep an eye on what I pay for vs what I get... on average I'd say I'm around the 900Mbps mark and happy with that on a 1GB subscription. Have done this for years. ethernet connected, third party router, VM Hub 5 in modem mode But since the turn of the year it fell off the cliff....way down 😕 Initially I opened a VMchat and said my connection speed was looking slow and they said "we can see an issue with your router we'll arrange an engineer" ...the date set was the same day I had also got info they were doing works in my area midnight-3am. I also wasn't convinced the VMagent realised the Hub5 was in modem mode. However after coming off the VMchat I ran the speedtest in an alternate browser and got a VERY different result, so cancelled the engineer. Nearly double! Chrome was around the 370/98 Mbps mark, Safari 782/100 Mbps. Same computer, same ethernet connecting, two different browsers. ....to throw a huge spanner in my investigation I was on a Win11 ethernet computer in another room and Chrome gave me a result of 209/856 (yes - upload was massive compared to download 😳). But I digress. Digging a little, I'm down the rabbit hole of turning off extensions in Chrome, clearing cache, fresh profile yadda yadda but no dice. If I use Chrome I'm seeing a HUGE decline in the reported speeds Anyone else?

Pods!
Can someone please help me to order a pod. I have run the connect app which has confirmed that the speed is very low and that a pod would help. That’s it, nothing more, just an eternal loop going from one help page to another! Utterly frustrating.

Random drops in speed continue after engineer visit
Hi, Everyone I Have joined VM in summer 2024. I had a engineer visit a week or so ago due to constant slow speed actually VM emailed me saying something isn't right and they would require an engineer to come, he did mention the cable outside has been slightly damage and nothing much more in depth but he did manage to "tidy up". However since the past few days constantly around 7-9pm there is that random lag long lieutenancy when doing speed test and hardy going up to 30-40 mbps , during the day it is a stable good 130mpbs speed. It's a HUB 3 btw. Any ideas what to do its annoying it bugs out even when you try watching Netflix during that period

Upgrade through app not showing
Hello, I've upgraded my speed through the app. I have received an email confirmation. But no date to confirm when the change will take place. Could it be clarified as to what's actually happening?

Re: Upgraded to 1Gb but getting 500mb speeds
I am having the same issue. I was on 500mbps before, and used to get around 450mbps. I cancelled my contract and just before my Sky install I was offered 1000mbps to stay with Virgin... I stayed and got the new hub... but I am still getting only around 200-450mpbs. Its as if the new speeds have not been activated as its literally no different and was the only reason I stayed and didn't just move to Sky and have cheaper 500mpbs with them. Lucky I am in my 14 days still so I might just cancel and still move to Sky anyway if its not resolved.

Bad WiFi but normal download speed
Hello, I’m having a very frustrating issue. I live in a 2 up, 2 down with one other person and have M350 fibre Upon running speed tests, I am mostly getting about 370mbps, however my internet is dreadful. If we are both scrolling on our phones it is incredible slow and when working from home I need to use an ethernet to get a decent connection. we have had a technician out twice but they have been unable to find any issues. It’s honestly dreadful. Surely 350mbps is enough to handle 2 people. also, WM Connect is unable to find my hub, no matter how may times I go through the set up or reset the hub. I don’t know what to do and unable to find any answers plesse can someone help with some form of solution.

Not getting 200mbps
We pay for 200mbps download and we aren't getting it. Also the ping is unreasonably high for what it ought to be. I ran a wired speed test directly to the Super Hub 3 and this was the outcome: See below status from the SH3. Anything out of kilter here?
