Constant drop outs

Hi, for the last month or so I've been having constant disconnects from the internet and it's gotten unbearable. I've tested without my router in modem mode, with my superhub (using only the superhub), contacted support by phone who sent me a wifi extender (which did absolutely nothing).

Really getting frustrated by it now. Just this last hour I've had 4 disconnects on my whole internet. (Both ethernet and wi-fi). The two arrows on the superhub 3 are constantly blinking green when it disconnects.

Here's some data to help me with the problem.

    Downstream signal levels are way too low, almost disconnected. 

    Check that your coax connections are all tight. If that doesn't help you'll need a technician visit to investigate.

      Hi, appreciate the reply.

      Sadly, I already tightened the coax up as much as possible. Maybe the cable is damaged.

    Looking again at your figures, I don't think it's a coax problem because the upstream levels have not dropped the same. 

    You need to insist on a technician to sort this.

      Appreciate the help.

      Dunno how to get through so I can get a technician, feels like when I use the automated service I get put in a loop. Already contacted them once and they sent me a wifi extender which did nothing.

      Is there any Virgin Media support that can help me get a technician booked?

      Thanks.

    Hopefully a VM person will pick this up, look at those levels and book you a visit. You might like to show the figures to the technician, as they are often not told why they have been called.

        Hi ajsuenb,

        Thanks for getting in touch. Sorry to hear of the broadband issues you've been experiencing.

        I'll drop you over a private message so I can arrange for an engineer to take a look 😊

        Thanks,
