Not like virgin media
Loving it
Doesn’t give honest speed results
I’ve been struggling to even open Google.com before, and the app will somehow tell me my download speed is still 135mbps. Yet having run a simultaneous speed test not using the app, the other speed test will say it’s 1% of virgins declared speed, if it runs at all as I get a response of ‘there’s a problem with the network’!. Repeated poor quality service from virgin and then they have the audacity to try and paint a picture of everything working fine!
WiFi pod
Seems to work straight out of box hopefully that will sort
Unstable
The ability to pause and unpause devices is inconsistent and often crashes.
Pause devices feature error
Had an error on this feature since February. “We’re working on this and it will be working soon”.
Not fit for purpose
This app used to work however for the past few months, it does not work at all. Despite every possible troubleshooting step, the app cannot seem to find my Hub 4. This is in spite of the hub working perfectly well and delivering Gigabit service to my home. I see that many other users have reported the same issue so this seems to be a widespread problem and nothing to do with me as a rare case. Update 14/5/24 following Developer response: None of the advice given helps. The URL provided doesn’t exist either. I’ve contacted technical support by phone and they couldn’t help either. Terrible, terrible customer experience.
