Hi,
The last time I felt compelled to post was down to huge packet loss, and here we are again.
Both myself and my girlfriend work from home, and today was pretty unbearable to be honest.
My BQM graph is here:
It was meant to have been resolved at 6pm...
I'm hoping that the issue is known by the engineers to not actually be resolved, and it's going to be looked at again in the morning.
And no, I'm not factory resetting my router etc. It's not that.
Cheers,
Pacman

Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.
VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.
If no area faults found:
The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.

Thanks Tudor. I'll try that number and see how I get on.
Luckily I'm in the office today, but it looks like the loss is still terrible for the missus.
Cheers

Oh, didn't realise marking something as helpful would mark as solved.
It's very much not solved...

Rang that number and heard from the very distorted robot that there is still a fault in my area, and it's complex and might take a while to fix. Joy.

There are no SLA’s on a residential contract. If working from is a priority, then consider getting a 4G SIM based backup router. You can get 30 day SIM’s for this purpose. At least you can work during outages.

Hey SudoPacman,
Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post. I’m sorry to hear of the issues that you’re having with your connection at the moment. I have been able to locate you on our customer management systems with the information from the forums and can see that there is an SNR fault in your area with this fault you might find that these services are intermittent at the moment: Virgin Fibre and Voice services. We are sorry and working hard to resolve this for you.
The estimated fix time for this issue is Tuesday 13th February at 12pm.
Kind Regards,
Steven_L
