Can't get through to Tech Support

Our Hub 5 has a flashing blue light - with no internet connectivity. I can't seem to get through to VM to ask them about this. All I get by contacting customer support is "we're running tests" and can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions of how to actually speak to someone?

  • As an update, this situation was resolved last night. I managed to chat to someone online who informed me there was a local outage (including when it went down and expected reconnection time). It's a pity this information wasn't reflected in the Service Status check which constantly indicated all was well....if I knew there was a problem then I wouldn't waste lots of time chasing this up! Maybe the best solution is to see if there is a service van parked at the local hub!

  • Thanks for your reply (this forum is excellent!). Have tried the above number and no issues reported at my postcode. I guess I need to try and schedule an engineer. If anyone knows how to do this, that would be appreciated. 

  • Thanks! I don't have Virgin Mobile, so no 150. 0345 454 1111 just leads to a test of equipment and then instructions to unplug and restart. Finding it impossible to talk to someone! I'm really not sure if the checking local status page is accurate or not.

      Hi Qwerty11 

      It might be due to an area/local issue.

      Have you tried the automated Service Status number  0800 561 0061?  This often gives details of more local issues down to postcode level.

  • Similar happened to me and I called 150. The lady ran some tests and arranged an engineer visit.
