I know I wouldn't laugh but it really is a joke how clueless the virgin forum team are. The only other people who are as inept is everyone else who works for virgin media.

No they are not, nothing has been fixed or improved with two "engineer" visits. There is clearly something wrong, there is no reason that with a product you call FTTP, I can instantly hit 1150mbps download but I am unable to see upload speeds ever reach 104mbps. I need an actual engineer that knows how your technology works, to troubleshoot why i only have 4 upstream channels. The people you have sent can do little more than tighten coax cables and run speed tests.

This needs referral to networks. Sadly they'll just order you techs and it seems the techs rather than escalate will just tell you they don't know. Most likely they are deterred from escalation by some process.

The latency is horrible under load because you're using all the upstream capacity. Your upstream channels should be 64 QAM and you should have more than 4 of them.Going by the very low upstream transmit power you're on the full fibre product so it should be pristine.The support you've received has just been a waste of everyone's time.

It gets better and better. Lee_R has not managed to do anything. There was scheduled works on my postcode scheduled for Tuesday morning. I thought "oh maybe they will actually fix something". Connection didn't drop at all during the night, so i don't think any works was done at all. And then last night at 3.30am connection dropped and didn't come back. Website said an engineer on site to fix it, at 4pm the ticket was updated with "all fixed, no issues" - and i am still disconnected. Hub is forever DS scanning. "Engineer" clearly just packed up and went to the pub...

Check for a known local fault on 0800 561 0061 - it is an automated service.
Customer Support are on 150 or 0345 454 1111 from a non-VM phone.

A serious SNR issue on the Up / Down channels. This may be affecting the whole street.

The 4x QPSK channels show a severe noise fault, QPSK modulation mode is slower than QAM 16.

There are large numbers of Pre RS Errors too.

  Hi Stefcolosi.
  Thanks for your reply and this update although we're sorry to hear the issue was not resolved upon this visit.
  
  We can advise that the appointment seems to have been left open so our engineer can return, also it's been rescheduled for a future date now.

Oh my, I should have gone to Specsavers !

The Upstream Modulation mode should be QAM 64 on all 4 channels.

If those upstream channels are still all stuck in QPSK, that might be a faulty Hub - a hub that might need to be replaced. Ask the folks next door to take a look at their Upstream is it also QPSK or QAM 64/32/16 ?
- Stefcolosi

  They keep changing, right now they are QAM 32, but they will change to qam 16 or qpsk at random times. The last tech switched out the hub 5 at my request, didn’t make a difference. I’m still at 4 upstream channels and seeing 60-65 at best. Also latency is horrendous under load but that might be the normal quality of VM

    The latency is horrible under load because you're using all the upstream capacity.
    Your upstream channels should be 64 QAM and you should have more than 4 of them.
    Going by the very low upstream transmit power you're on the full fibre product so it should be pristine.
    The support you've received has just been a waste of everyone's time.

It gets better and better. Lee_R has not managed to do anything. There was scheduled works on my postcode scheduled for Tuesday morning. I thought "oh maybe they will actually fix something". Connection didn't drop at all during the night, so i don't think any works was done at all. And then last night at 3.30am connection dropped and didn't come back. Website said an engineer on site to fix it, at 4pm the ticket was updated with "all fixed, no issues" - and i am still disconnected. Hub is forever DS scanning. "Engineer" clearly just packed up and went to the pub...

  Looking at the Boostral 710 right now i see the opt in light is red. Seeing as no one touched it on my property at 3.30 am on friday morning, and that there was a 24 hour outage for the whole postcode recorded with virgin at that time I think its safe to say my fibre has been disconnected at the other end rather than on my property. And the "engineer" who has marked the job as fixed just didn't reconnect me.
  My problem is I don't see how to relay this information to anyone in virgin media who can organise for it to be fixed. Can any VM forum team member do anything?
