Faulty since joining support is terrible

[Mnm2397]

Constant disconnections since joining on the 1gig plan using Hub 5x which I've only just found out is a trial and seems to be rolled out just to beat the competition as it's not ready!

I've sat on hold for hours after.only being with virgin for a matter of weeks, first bill paid @£107 and I've had a sub par service. When I've rang for help it's been cut off 4/5 times after waiting 20/30 minutes.

My most recent call and they said they can't find my account and they will call back, still waiting.

My broadband constantly cuts off and I've had a tech guy out from virgin which was arranged via a virgin employee from this forum (this has been the only helpful employee) and the tech guy showed me the device and it shows what I know which is continuous drop outs.

He carried out work on the line to my house he described it as scoping the lines and cleaning muck on the lines, unfortunately this hasn't resolved the problem and the drop outs continued after he had left.

I need someone from virgin to look in to this and arrange to have the network checked up to cabinets/pole whatever it could be as the price I'm paying for a service that's not working is shocking. I've been given details of the auto compensation scheme which seems to cover total loss but doesn't mention anything about the problems I'm having where it's intermittent but enough to disrupt the service mainly when online gaming.

Apparently there is a "ring fenced" team for the Hub 5X, and these are the people you need to talk to.  How you do that, I've no idea.  Any numbers I've seen on these threads are just the standard CS number.  Maybe they are supposed to transfer you to this team?

I'm on to them now, I'll see if I can be put through to them and if I get a direct number I'll post here.

You’ll be lucky. **bleep** poor service ours is so slow. Then when you finally receive a response you get a boost or get what you pay for, then when you’ve calmed down they drop it back off. Crap crap crap

Set up a BQM

I understand lots of other 5X users are seeing metronomic hourly spikes in latency. It seems VM continues to be carrying out mass remote monitoring of XGS-PON connections that might be causing this.

There is a test team email address on here somewhere (DM me).
