Connection intermittent for 3+ weeks because ‘known issue in the area’

My connection has been intermittent (read: pretty much useless for work or streaming TV without issues) for 3+ weeks now. Whenever I log in and check broadband issues, it says that there’s a know issue in the area but that the root cause has been found. It also lists that an engineer is planned to fix it. I subscribe for notifications and after a few days I always get a message saying the an engineer is now fixing the issue, followed by a message that it’s fixed. Then, about 1h later, the same issue reoccurs. A few hours later, there’s then another ‘known issue in the area’ that’s showing when I log into my Virgin account. I spoke to others in the street and they are experiencing the same issue. This patterns has repeated itself 4 times now, and 3 weeks later, my internet connect is still so unstable that I have been forced to go into the office every day to work. I tried to get to speak to a human at Virgin, but that’s just impossible… Can anyone please advise? I’m getting to point where I’m thinking of leaving Virgin especially now that I just got my bill for the full amount despite all the issues!

  • Hello Snowdog123,

    Welcome to the Community and thanks for taking the time to post here on the forums. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re having with your connection at the moment. I've looked into this and can see that there is still an area fault with an estimated fix time of 3pm on Friday 16th May, this has been logged under reference F011812032. We're not able to provide any further information about the issues at the moment however we hope to have the issues resolved before the current estimated fix time.

    Kind Regards,
