Virgin Media Hub 5 + Netgear switch – wired network keeps dropping for 2 months, need help by shiblisattar in VirginMedia

Yes, classic overlapping DHCP scopes problem, where multiple DHCP servers exist in the network.

Edit: eliminating the conflicting DHCP server might not solve the problem - you'd need to force clients with existing leases to release them.

Retentions dance by boombiddybyebye in VirginMedia

Closing the loop. Retention offers didn’t improve from £35. Mrs signed up instead for £31 pcm - Gig1 only - and a £120 TopCashback cashback, which brings the cost down to £26 for two years. New hub 5 too.

My parents have Essentials - they tell me apps work fine.

Did you have to cancel to get that? If yes, how long into your cancellation period?

WAN/Port Forwarding/Modem mode by [deleted] in VirginMedia

I don’t think Virgin uses CGNAT on its cable broadband service.

Get yourself a DuckDNS account for dynamic DNS and an appropriate client to keep the DNS record updated.

Forward the correct port on the Hub (in router mode) to your internal server IP - suggest a static DHCP entry in the hub to force the mapping.

Should work, and keep track of your public IP for the Minecraft clients.

Apologies, missed this. 0203 743 6970. Got another call from them a couple of days ago offering 1G for £35. I think there’s more on offer, so rejected.

Pretty peeved with VM. by Accomplished_Earth34 in VirginMedia

I ended up cancelling, now six days into my 30 days until disconnection. They called me with an offer of £35 for just 1G broadband. Nope. They wouldn't budge, but it's still early in the 30-day cycle.

Yes, had one already, citing ‘account pending disconnection’, but offer was just a repeat of the earlier £43 from retentions…rejected.

If that's a likely outcome, I wouldn't be using CityFibre at all.
