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 win899Views0likes12CommentsEmbarrassingly 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.

Recently switched from 70mbps to Virgin 125. Noticed that the WiFi speed fluctuates a lot. I have done some speed test on my phone in the same place within minutes apart and it changes a lot I think. When I was streaming with BT on 70mbps my tv never buffered but it is buffering with Virgin's supposedly faster broadband. Is this normal or there is something wrong?44Views0likes2CommentsWired v Wireless uploads
Can anyone help identify what might be causing an issue with upload speeds over a wired connection. I have the Gig1Volt service with a couple of wifi boosters running and a number of wired devices. At the hub I get 1148mbps download and 151 mbps upload. At the device (win laptop) using wireless I get 399mbps download and 107mbps upload, while wired I get 900mbps download but less than 2mbps upload. This slow upload speed obviously causes issues. Grateful for any suggestions.103Views0likes6Comments7 days in… is it worth it
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?Solved238Views1like12CommentsEthernet Connection Speeds Hub 5X
Hi, I just switched from Sky to Virgin for faster speeds, as Sky capped us at 52mbps. Virgin just installed fibre (1132mbps), and while WiFi (on Virgin router) near the router is solid (around 800mbps), wired ethernet and mesh performance is disappointing with speeds sub 200mbps generally. Powerline connections are only hitting 20mbps (used to be 45mbps with Sky, so at least expect that as I realise powerlines aren't the best), UniFi mesh gets 120mbps, and even direct Ethernet into the Hub only gives 80mbps. All cables are CAT5e at a minimum, but I also bought some CAT8 cables to try and same result. Tried everything I can think of, modem mode with a Archer AR400 (similar speed of 80mbps), router reset, even swapped the Hub as engineer visited and agreed something’s off. Same results with the new 5X as well. Not sure what else to try other than maybe a different Hub model? Seems to be a few topics on the subject, but no one ever has an answer and the community boards tend to get closed off with no true answer. Hopefully someone can help. Thanks in advance!304Views0likes31CommentsPaying 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.78Views0likes4Comments
