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?Vodafone 6e
I have issues with my WiFi speeds, there's another really long post about this on here, but I can't get any help that improves my issue. My question is could I buy a 2nd hand Vodafone 6e router and put my hub 5 in modem mode and use it? Will it work? My WiFi is severely congested due to neighbour having lots and lots of cameras, access points etc. Anyone have any experience using the Vodafone 6e router in this way with Virgin? I'm desperate, I've tried everything else and had multiple engineers visitExtending Range to Garden Office
I've got a definite dip in Wifi speed in my garden office (about 5m away from the house - on the other side of the wall where my hub 5 lives) Both house and office are very well insulated House speeds showing as 380+, office speed between 9 and 30 with a great deal of variation throughout the day. Measured on Speedchecker I can't use the Wifi Home Scan - it times out regardless of when and which room I try, I get an Oops try again later message. (have tried deleting the app etc but to no avail) I think I might be able to use a Wifi Pod to sort this out, but am in a catch 22 as I can't do the scan to show the speeds. First question - How can I order one if I can't do the scan? Prior to joining VM my router was under the stairs connected to the office via an ethernet cable which now sits unused as VM couldn't fit the hub5 in the same place, so it's situated in the living room. Additional question - Is there another way to utilise the ethernet cable to help, given that it's miles away from the router? Any help would be greatly appreciated and possibly save my marriage as Mrs is sick of me working in the kitchen....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 speeds
Slow decline in Gig1 speeds and now getting <565 Mbps - the minimum download speed
Besides complaining to Virgin Media, is there anything I can do? Here's proof from Virgin Media's own speedtest: Here's a typical speedtest.net result: Here's data over the past month showing a slow decline in speed (a raspberry pi runs a speedtest every couple of hours): Normally the speeds max out the 1 GB/s network interface, here's data going back a year: I rebooted the router at the end of July (no change to speed) and rebooted again at the start of September when I noticed the speeds dropping. I have tested the speed on my main computer, directly cabled into the router, and on two separate raspberry pis (a 4 and a 5) with CAT6 cable. There is nothing untoward in the router logs, these are the only critical entries: [Mod - MAC addresses images removed] Thanks for any advice you can offer to help diagnose/fix this issue.Virgin what have you done - Hub 5X

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 winEmbarrassingly 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. Mod Edit : Image removed
