If anybody has experienced problems with Virgin media whilst live streaming lately (stream playing in slow motion and buffering ) go into your vm settings and disable flood detection, should solve the problem ðŸ‘
You might think I've forgotten, but one day, when you least expect it, my time will come.
Wow just noticed this thread has continued from around 2018 Since then, I have left Virgin and joined three different suppliers who all use Openreach. Then last year I joined YouFibre. I must say they are brilliant Baffles me why anyone used Virgin or pays more than £30 for broadband unless you want the ability to record 92 programmes at once, most of which you will never watch. That said I do like the Sky Minibox system my mum in law has, but would never pay the price people pay for it You can stream so much now via IPlayer, and all the other channel's equivalents, why bother ?

In fairness the Sky system is good and they are reliable. I set my mother in law up with YouFibre Broadband and anytime calls for £29 Which is brilliant Plus she wanted to keep all the Sky services as she goes nowhere and enjoys being able to watch what she wants when she wants. Having a minibox in the kitchen so she can watch it while cooking etc is fantastic for her

I disabled flood protection as recommended in the OP, but still have some occasional minor buffering with VM when some of the multi choice games are selected. Is anybody else in the same boat?

some slight buffering, but liveable, but ive noticed "signal power" if that's the word seems to drop every Friday afternoon till Sunday, and just nticed its just dropped again, i have also noticed with some games picture pixelates and freezes a few times , always during the game.

The issue is that they tell you they will provide you with xxx megabytes which in theory is true. However when every man and his family, plus the dog, are using t'internet then whatever amount of megabytes they are able to supply to your area is divided by the number of users. Honestly unless you want the Virgin TV and recording facilities, then you should look for another provider as soon as you have the opportunity.

Only 2 in the house, but theres been some newcomers with youngsters in the street , ive got my name down with a supplier who is local at the interest in the area for supplying, he used to work for VM , he knew the score with them. how the heck they won that award they say in the advert is a mystery, or a case the others are crap as well.

That’s good advice I was told Virgin can use the infrastructure of others but not vice versa It’s all so confusing really Better with BBC Wenvoe and ITV Wales and the West, the Light Programme and the Home Service
