Review of Virgin Media


Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Not good at all

Not good. Have no signal in the house so mobile calls drop out. WiFi is intermittent. Really poor.

Thank you for replying. We have the Hub 3 but your virgin connect app doesn't work.

The hub is out in the open with no fish tanks, phones or concrete nearby . Still having problems

Hey there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we are sorry to hear you are having an issue with your WiFi connection.

There are so many things that can influence a WiFi connection some of which include but are not limited to, a fish tank being in the same room, walls being built with concrete instead of brick, it could even be that your next-door neighbour’s router is interfering with yours. Due to this, we are only able to offer limited help. Please have a look here: https://virg.in/wifisos

The Hub's location could also be causing the coverage problem, so we do need to check the positioning of it. Can you please ensure the following

Out in the open
Next to the TV not behind it
Away from large bodies of water (e.g., fish tanks)
Away from baby monitors and cordless phones
Away from microwaves

Think of the Hub as a radio, and WiFi as the sound - the further away you are from the radio, or the more obstacles that are in the way (walls, electronic devices etc.), the quieter the radio & the poorer the WiFi.

If that doesn't help, if you have the Hub 3, you can download our Connect App which will allow you to scan areas of your home and will offer help. You can view more information on that here: https://virg.in/connectapp.

If after going through the self-checks, you still need some help, feel free to pop along to our Community Forum where our staff and users have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help you out: virg.in/CoBb.

Thanks
