About this deal

Testing and activation: Once the installation is complete, the technician will test the connection and make sure everything is working correctly. You may need to activate your account online or over the phone before you can start using the broadband service

Hi everyone, I hope this information can be helpful for others as it took me over a week and more than 20 calls to Virgin support to finally resolve the issue. Technically and legally, yes you were miss-sold a product, you were told it would do xyz, when in fact it wasn’t technically possible. Now it’s not your fault if VM fail to communicate between their various departments or fail to train their agents on what is happening. You probably do have good grounds to require VM to release you from contract without penalty and look elsewhere - not that this will happen without a fight and escalation to the Ombudsman Service, but in extremis.... If this also fails then we currently have a known error with some of the data in our systems, that is causing the app to not recognise the Hub in a minority of instances. We are already investigating this as a high priority. Wi-Fi extender pods are currently unavailable (at the moment), likely due to the router mode issue.After residing at my property for over 10 years, I was thrilled to learn that Virgin Internet was now available in my area. Without hesitation, I signed up for the 1Gig plan as soon as I saw the Virgin engineers working nearby. During the sign-up process, I informed the sales representative about my struggles with weak Wi-Fi signals in certain areas of my house. They assured me that with my chosen plan, I would be eligible for free Wi-Fi booster pods. Feeling frustrated, I decided to conduct some further research and attempted to use my own Wi-Fi extenders. To my surprise, I discovered that the 5x hub does not have a router mode, which was an essential feature for my needs. The Virgin Media Connect app is the control unit for your WiFi. It helps you get your broadband up and running and make the most out of your WiFi experience, all from the comfort of your sofa. However, the biggest issue lies with the fact if you have poor wifi then the app won’t launch so you can’t actually test the area that’s affected… third party speed testers are able to launch and work fine, so it begs the question why can’t virgins in house app do this? (Makes you wonder if they don’t want you to test your signal so you can’t claim compensation..) wifi is still hit and miss even with the boosters, so frustrating.

Ready and waiting in the app, we’ve put together a list of commonly asked questions we think you’ll find handy – covering topics like setting up the Hub, how to make the most of the Connect app and way more. If this also fails then we currently have a known error with some of the data in our systems that's causing the app to not recognise the Hub in a minority of instances. We're already investigating this as a high priority.

The situation with Virgin Media routers is rather tumultuous at the time of writing. Existing customers will have a mixture of the older Hub 3 and the newer Hub 4, depending on how long they've been a customer, and which broadband speed they receive. But it's even more mystifying than that, because Virgin Media is currently rolling out its latest Hub 5 router to those subscribing to its top speeds, but getting one may also depend on where you live, since the Hub 5 requires your local Virgin Media network to be upgraded to supply it. Confused?
