This will then take you through a whole process of going room to room and checking wifi signal however it has no idea where you actually are so just walk to the lowest signal point (or down the road) and scan, at first it will try to "optimise" your wifi which probably means change channel and then it should offer a booster when that doesn't work. It only offered me one, the terms and conditions say a 2nd will only be sent following assessment by a virgin media agent inside the account address whatever that means and a 3rd will only be installed by a technician after a review of your network setup. FYI to anyone trying this, I just went through this process and I am on a discounted Ultimate Oomph package and it explicitly stated it was free for Ultimate Oomph customers and that there would be no changes to my contract but on the final confirmation page it tried to add £5 to my monthly charge!! I will try to phone them tomorrow as it can't hurt to try for free. According to the Plume site below it supports an ethernet backhaul which I will use so speeds should be reasonable. https://support.plume.com/hc/en-gb/a...i-performance- |

My Eero mesh gives gives me flawless coverage throughout my home and garden, coupled with a simple app, it's hard to beat.

Re: Virgin launch new WiFi pods and Hub WiFi improvements
Managed to order the Intelligent Wi-Fi Plus service with my Gig one FOC on Friday after talking to 5 people. Come on Tuesday had to talk to customer care to get them ordered then Tech support was crazy.

They can KEEP them. We pay more than enough without paying a further £5..Going up £3:50p again in March.

Re: Virgin launch new WiFi pods and Hub WiFi improvements
Someone posted on the Virgin Community Forum that the pods are out of stock until March.

BTW my eero hub is upstairs next to Hub 3 and I'm downstairs. As you may have guessed I'm on 200/20 tier. |
Re: Virgin launch new WiFi pods and Hub WiFi improvements
While having to wait for new hubs to come in, I now have to register my interest so they will contact me when they have any.

Re: Virgin launch new WiFi pods and Hub WiFi improvements
I have just recieved an invitation to trial the new Intelligent WiFi Pods though the VM community forum. Not sure if there is any point in my doing so as I can access my wifi from everywhere I need within my house. If I do the trial I get to keep them afterwards

I do use my Hub3 in router mode but, as far as I can see I can't see how the pods would help so I doubt if I will join the trial. Unless someone here can suggest a benefit in my using them? |
