  • SteveMowat4 Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @bristolbluegas @virginmedia @HiveHelper If someone could own a problem it would help. The engineer that came out today said, I just install hubs mate, I’m not authorised to lift man hole covers. Virgin told me yesterday this would be their “priority technician” that could fix everything. What a joke

  • welshcuriosity Jordan (@welshcuriosity) reported from Cardiff, Wales

    Upgrading to gigabit broadband meant getting a new router from VirginMedia, so took the opportunity to tidy up and remove old cabling and extension leads. Didn't realise just how much unused crap I still had plugged in/taking up space

  • SteveMowat4 Steve Mowat (@SteveMowat4) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @virginmedia Both those lights should be green. Any red lights mean there is a network fault either on a cable or on the box to which the cable screws into. Now please tell me, what is so difficult to send someone out to investigate that??

  • MarkAnstee2 Mark (@MarkAnstee2) reported from Weston-super-Mare, England

    @paulatkinsonuk @virginmedia Virgin hubs are known for poor wifi signal the hub 4 aint much better i ended up getting an old home hub router and turning that into a wifi access point . Though if you do get a hub 4 beware of overheating along with virgin wifi boosters.

  • Paul_CR_Smith Paul Smith (@Paul_CR_Smith) reported

    @virginmedia OK, I'm giving that a try. I don't know whether it will solve the problem but it will be good at least to work out if the problem is in my house or on your network. When it works the speed is fine. The issue is it regularly cutting out.

  • StoylesArthur Arthur Stoyles (@StoylesArthur) reported

    @virginmedia Thank you for your reply. I spoke to someone in your technical department who solved my problem. Unfortunately the solution has created a fresh issue. I will try again next week.

  • TonyWarren34 Tony Warren (@TonyWarren34) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @virginmedia We wanted to upgrade our hub due to internet continually dropping out in parts of the house when it previously never used to. Followed the link via @virginmedia app which recommended a new hub. Can't do online have to speak to person but been on hold for 1hr+ 3 times & gave up

    @virginmedia just moved house, no internet, phone, TV as promised after a previous 45min online chat to ‘confirm’ and now I’ve been on hold for nearly 2hrs and I’ve listened to the same set of songs about 400 times now...as if no internet, phone, TV and waiting wasn’t bad enough!
