    Notes on experiences with using Virgin Media as my internet connection provider.

    Could be issues with routers, problems with support, pricing / contract negotiations

  • Virgin Media and Asus 5300 GT ROG router

    Issues using a ROG-Rapture-GT-AC5300router with Virgin Media.

    I've had a number of problems with Virgin Media internet connection and using my own router since being "up"graded to their SuperHub 3.
    In short, it didn't like my routers, periodically dropping connection to Virgin Media.

    Here's some notes on what I hope has fixed the issue.

  • Virgin Media cable internet with SuperHub 3 and Asus RT N66U

    In early 2018 I was having all sorts of problems with my Virgin Media cable connection.

    After a number of calls to Virgin Media support they arranged for an engineer visit.
    The engineer replaced the existing SuperHub with the latest version, the SuperHub 3 (SH3).

    I was using an Asus RT N66U at the time, it is now (2020) an obsolete model really but I'm still using it as an access point instead of router.
