Intermittent Signal Issue

This is very frustrating. I have an "Intermittent Signal Issue" when I check the status of my network. This has been going on for about a month now. Getting in contact with VM support is a nightmare. I've rebooted the device using the power switch and the small reset button as well as made sure all cable connections are intact.

Customer support has advised that someone will get back to me on this matter during business hours and that someone has to be home. How does this work when all residents are working during business hours? Why have I not been given a specific time?!

I also haven' heard back from anyone for the past few days! Really considering cancelling my contract at this point. Could someone please advise.

    Check for the latest info in two places - report bck what they are saying.

    1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage (https://www.virginmedia.com/help/service-status)

    2) Then also Try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

        OK - what are the actual actual issues you experience ?  Apart from a warning message when you check status - what happens on the connection?

        Also, can we check… are these issues only evident on wifi connections or do you see them at the same times on devices connected on ethernet cables? If you don't know, can you check to help diagnose whether it is just a wifi issue or it could be network connection/Hub related?

        What Hub model is it? What are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens if a Hub3 is the base light a steady white(ish) or flashing green?

    Hey Atooin, I'd advise you to cancel your contract because if you look around the forums you'll see that this is not something only you are facing.

    For whatever reason, Virgin are trying to ignore these issues. Save yourself the hassle and find a new provider.
