Same here.... the experience with VM was just horrendous towards the end of my tenure with them.I'm very happy still that I left (switched to Youfibre). I read in here every so often still to see if anything has changed but it never does. Price increases, cancellations, reductions and then starts over again![]()
Do you have any cloud backups sheduled? I'm no expert but that looks like something routinely uploading at regular intervals which has now stopped.So I wonder if the spikes in my ping were potentially some sort of new customer monitoring? As they now seemed to have stopped.

VM is currently deploying FTTP (XGS-PON) to our estate as we speak and have made great progress in the two weeks leading up to Christmas.
As and when I'm able to place an order it sounds like they'll provide a Hub5x (If I've read the above correctly).
I'm not sure this thread is best placed for my question but what's the best budget-friendly Mesh system to compliment the Hub5x? I intend to hard wire some devices but I will still need wifi across the rest of the property (three stories, 4 bedrooms circa 1400 sqft)
Maybe I'm not using that site correctly but it just says that Virgin Media 1gbps is live (which I know) and tells me that Openreach FTTP is planned.It won't ben either FTTC or FTTP (unless XGS-PON), it's will be via Virgins DOCSIS network, try this site https://bidb.uk/
<edit> I don't think there is any reliable way to see FTTP XGS-PON for Virgin

Nexfibre, the company that has been installing the cables and cabinets is working with VM according to ISPreview
Buy yourself a cheap .co.uk domain name and start swapping emails now. I used to have an old @ntlword.com address that’s how long I was with VMThe only problem I would have with leaving VM, is not having the Blueyonder email addy
It's only a proposal at this stage and the proposal is a ban on mid-contract inflation-linked price rises. Ofcom specifically states that mid-contract price rises (in general) won't be banned but they propose they are spelled out more clearly.So Virgin has written price rises into their contracts but won't this action from Ofcom render them all void?

Ofcom proposes ban on inflation-linked mid-contract price rises
Ofcom proposes ban on inflation-linked mid-contract price rises and reveals take-up of social tariffs more than doubled in the last year, but millions remain unaware.www.ofcom.org.uk
But how will that apply to existing contracts? They will have to draw new ones.It's only a proposal at this stage and the proposal is a ban on mid-contract inflation-linked price rises.

I guess that will come out in the details when (if) Ofcom publish their final decision later this year.But how will that apply to existing contracts? They will have to draw new ones.
