Amber Light Home Hub 5X

No internet since yesterday. Amber Light on hub 5x. Rang 03455451111 twice now. WiFi connects okay. I can logon to the router on 192.168.0.1 okay. Last call I was cut off. Not sure anything is being done. Any advice as the best approach.

 

Thanks

      Can connect to network status. IP-VOIP  down. I dont use that. IP-DATA down.

      Home page states internet online.

      Light on front is Amber.

      I now have an engineer visit booked for Tuesday between 4-7pm.

      Thanks

  • Service back on Saturday 13th July. Off for 7 days. Problem on my account due to Virgins mistakes.

    At last

        Its now 31st of July. I had total lost of broadband from 5th July to 13th July. My new bill has arrived. No mention of any loss of service. Do I have to make a claim. I thought it was automatically done.

  • I reported loss of service on the 5th July. Virgin sent an engineer out on more than one occasion. They replaced the router which did not work. I was told that when the fibre was fitted that some how the records did not get updated for the port on the pole that was supplying the signal. Thus it was released and I was cut off. I now needed a new port to be allocated. Avonline Networks came and did the work on the pole. Service was not restored till the 13th July. Surely Virgin know I have lost service. Do I need to relate this tale to them.

      I have been on virgin media whatsapp for over 2 hours. They eventually offered £10.00 goodwill. When I did not accept it went up to £15. I pointed out there website states £9.76 per day. Have accepted £68.32..

        Well done for sticking to your guns. I'd suggest letting Ofcom know all about your "automatic" compensation experience with VM. It seems there is a clear and explicit strategy at work to escalate fob offs until finally conceding.
