Virgin Media Discussion Thread
- Thread starter macca40

I am as of tonight as I've just upgraded to the latest AC68U firmware. I was using Google's DNS servers but I don't see how the DNS servers would correlate to sustained transfer speeds being slower (Youtube/Play Store).
FWIW it makes no difference in practice having tested it earlier anyway.
Yeah I posted here and then read some comments above and went to the forums... how do I change my DNS to Virgin's?
If only some slow Youtube downloads were the worst of my problems. 10+ days of connection which drops every few minutes. 
Technician which came out on Saturday confirmed that it is 'network issues' rather than anything specific to my line/property, despite the service status continuing to confirm that I have 'good broadband'
Yeah, right...

I was on the Big Kahuna Bundle for £61 inc line rental. They wanted to add £4.50 onto the monthly price. I complained and am now on the following:
Big Kahuna Bundle - £51 inc line rental.
£75 bill credit
Free upgrade to Superhub 2ac
To get this I compared them to BT in reagrds to the AC router and faster upload. This got me the reduction of the monthly cost and the free router upgrade. The £75 was to cover any future price increases as I noted they keep upping the price.

Hi guys had 50mb installed but they gave me an old 480 modem but i cant get full speed over wireless i am only getting 30mb instead of 53mb that my main PC gets which is hard wired to the 480.
I have tried 2 usb Ethernet adapters one 150mbs and the other is 300mbs but still cant get over 30mbs also i have tried all channels 1-13 on the 480 with no luck.
I spoke to virgin on line with no luck there not interested in giving me the new superhub as they say it wont make any difference also they say i am not entitled to one on my package which is just just 50mb broadband.
Any advice guys thanks.

Anyone using the latest Superhub AC?
Got issues when I set the wireless speed to 1.3Gbps, keeps dropping out, otherwise works fine when set to 600Mbps(albeit slower network transfers).
