Constant upload / connection issues

So.. I've been with virgin media over 2 years now, I went from using the 200mb, to the gig1 and my network was always GREAT! then when it came to renewing, I stayed on with Gig1 and since then, I've had nothing but problems. 
Is there some sort of switch they've got that puts retained customers onto an awful line? anyways.. 

over the past few months I've been having dips, then it's stabilized, then it's gone weird again. I've spoke to "customer support" time and time again and just get the same BS. 

I can't even stream online at the moment as the upload speed is just fluctuating like crazy, All my home networking is fine, all new and tested cabling etc etc. 

 

Here's my current hub 5 status.

Thanks for reaching out to us @danerothery, and welcome back to our Community Forums!

Sorry to hear of the issues you've been experiencing on our connection of late.

Looking into the local area, it would appear that there is a local area outage at play and is estimated to be resolved on 11/06/24 at 15:10.

This appears to be a Sound to Noise Ratio (SNR) issue, which can cause the lines to vibrate and create an intermittent or complete loss of services for some customers.

Our team will do all within their power to have this resolved for all effected users.

Thanks

I called the number as advised, and it just loops me back to the website to check the service status.. since checking it's said my issue will be fixed every day at 11am, then it changes to 4pm and then just keeps doing that. It's getting pretty ridiculous now. My partner uses streaming platforms as their main source of income and can't even go live as they upload is awful. It's shocking that I've had no response from VM and still they're okay to keep taking my money for a service they're failing to provide.

Hi @danerothery,

Thank you for getting back to us. As we've mentioned earlier in this thread, the problems you've explained that you're experiencing seem to be caused by a known area fault.

Are you continuing to experience this issue with your services?

Thanks,

Hi @danerothery 

Thanks for coming back to the thread. I am sorry it's not resolved. The estimated fix date is the 19th June. Depending on the complexity of the fault, it can take longer than usual to fix I'm afraid.

will i be getting my money back for this lack / loss of service.. I can't use my internet as intended. 

You may want to review the terms on compensation:

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/billing-and-payments/automatic-compensation

Unfortunatley unless its a full outage over 48 hours there isn't much in terms of compensation.
