When your Hub3 is turned on and active, what colour is the lighting strip at bottom as people say it should be "White" got my hub3 today and set it up and my light is looking an Amber colour.
Hi. We are renting a flat in East London. We live on the 5th floor of a modern building. Does Virgin Media need to drill a hole in our front door? (I fear the landlord will not allow that) And engineer recently installed cables to the hallways near our main doors and was told the line will be active within a fortnight. Recently signed up for Sky but still waiting for an engineer on the 27th to install our broadband. Chose them coz its the cheapest in my area. Comment please?
You will require a coax cable to your virgin media modem however the landlord will probably allow this as virgin media is one of the best ISPs around it mainly depends where you’re going to put your modem/router
We are lucky to have both virgin media and BT FTTP in our area, went with bt because we were with them for nearly 8 years and switched to BT 900 for £40 as offer.. we currently get rock solid 940 down and 120 upload for the last 6 months... downloading can go as fast as 127MBps second which is just slightly over 1gig
8 months later you’ve probably fixed it now. Can you remember what it was? My first thought is you could have been using a sub par Ethernet cable. The lower cat ethernets will not transfer high speeds
@@monkeyboi282 funniest thing is I've not resolved it yet I just stick to wireless as I get better speed doing that now. I know it sounds crazy. Yeh I've heard a few people say there's all these new adapters for firesticks now that can accept ethernets at high speeds.
@@letsberealistic2288 Ethernet is the best way to go especially for gaming and Smart TVs. However it does depend on the cable and the back port of the router. The older routers, (ISP based) had just one 1GIG ethernet port, but the newer ones should support 1GIG/2GIG based transfers. Use a Cat6 or Cat7, (forget the latest Cat8) but first check your router ethernet ports which state their max transfer speeds, (1GIG etc).
Hi there. I am a manager with Virgin Media Complaints team. The green light which is flashing on the router is actually a glitch. Previously we had a fix date for it to get resolve and that was on first week of July but now even our system does not show any estimate resolve date. We were assured that this will not cause any service interruption but if you face any problem, please give a call and ask for tech.
I called virgin media today as a new customer as i only have received the modem they claim they can send a tech to do an install via replacing the existing BT socket with a virgin one without drilling any new holes is this true ?
there's nothing wrong with the quickstart splitter cable. it's only designed to get a basic wired internet connection between the hub and the v6. works perfectly
All ISP routers are trash. Fact. Personal routers are 100x better. 👌 P. S Cable network isn't "fast". Hyperoptic is by far the best and true fibre, symmetric speeds and ping is under 5ms.
@@kear3922 Yes it does jump to £49 but if you smart you can give 30 days notice to leave and they will call back and offer M100 for £16 new 18months.. ;)

So whats the ethernet used for in Port 4 again?
Do you need a tv aerial for box to work or can it be used with just wifi?
No its cable tv
As Shane has said it’s cable network so it runs on virgin network. Aerial is only for free view
Just a heads up but you can change the epg to 14 days not now and next which you have it set to.
This is the account I made for my virgin tv 360 not trying to copyright claim virgin media
Do you know the 4 ethernet cable port does one have faster transfer speed then the others
No
I'm on virgin M200 mbps wireless and when I try plug my ethernet in I'm only getting 68mbps. Any idea what's going on. Same router as yours.
just contact support

Who else just got virgin and it says connection unsuccessful could not verify info
Not me. Mine has no problems. Everything runs like clockwork.

No
@@hosay299 cheers they found out I already had a fibre socket installed so all they had to do was patch it up for me lol
Does it work for WiFi
Never use PlayStation for a speed check! It's probably way faster
Faster than the PlayStation suggests*
Awesome can you do a tour of the channels. Please. 😀 TiVo
dump that white ethernet cable and replace them a with cat6a at least , that onboard switch is slow enough

They use a non standard telephone connection!!!
If your gonna do a speedtest do it on speedtest.net website
Wait is that 500
