6 week outage - Virgin tell me it has now been fixed but internet still dropping regularly.

Onevision
On our wavelength

Hey,

Me and my neighbours had a 6 week outage which was recorded by Virgin (F009964951). During this time the internet would cut out completely multiple times a day and a hub reset would get it back for a few hours until it dropped again...

Virgin kept telling me that it would be fixed in 3 days time and when that date arrived they would push it out once more and so on... I was finally told that the network issue was fixed and the outage reference closed down but the issues are still ongoing for me and my neighbours exactly as before.

I have set up a broadband quality monitor and you can see the issues and where it has cut out.

 Can someone from Virgin please help? Customer services have not been able to provide any assistance at all and just tell me and my neighbours that the issue is resolved and we should reset out equipment... I have had engineers out who confirm that our kit is fine and that it's a local area issue.

Many thanks.

Check again on...

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum)

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 down to street cab/ postcode level.

See if anything is still being reported on one of them

Thanks John,

Unfortunately both still say that there are no issues in my area. It said that the entire duration of the recorded outage as well unfortunately. The only way I was able to get updates was by calling support or quoting the reference included above via web chat.
