If you find your broadband is unusually sluggish, the first port of call should be to power cycle your Virgin Media Hub that's according to the popular Internet Service Provider (ISP)
Virgin Media has sent a new email warning to UK households, worth considering if you're finding your internet speeds shoddy. The renowned Internet Service Provider suggests that a simple trick could bring about immediate improvements and it only takes a moment.
This was explained in Virgin's email message: "If you find your broadband is unusually sluggish, the first port of call should be to power cycle your Virgin Media Hub in other words, the classic "turn it off and on again" method. Once you've restarted your network, things should feel a lot more stable but if you still aren't getting the speeds you think you're paying for it's worth checking you don't have Wi-Fi issues.
Next, get your laptop and plug it directly into the router using an Ethernet cable. Run the same speed test and if things are much faster you know it's your wireless connection that's poor rather than the actual broadband coming in through the walls.
