Every other week my upload speed plummets to <5MB/s, mind you I am subscribed to their top broadband package $$$
On top of that, my download speeds have NEVER been what is advertised, even while using a Wifi Booster from VM
Here's a DQM so you can see for yourselves: https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality/share/ca9ab5878c69a8a0e5427b3bbfa1627899...
I rely on this broadband to do a data intensive job and most of the time I am unable to work because either I lost the connection yet again and it takes VM weeks to fix (almost 3 weeks wihtout broadband last month) or it's connected but completely unreliable
The cherry on top is that using their fault detector does not work, it always says "Everything is fine in your area", unless I specify I am still having issues or call their hotline, then it is disclosed they are aware of a fault in the area... in my opinion this is either:
- To avoid disclosing straight away how often there is something wrong going on, forcing users to dig to see it
- To give me a reason why the broadband is unreliable, because often times what I am told on the website does not match what I am told by the area tech/manager when I get them on the phone
My installation was checked recently, everything is fine. Just posting this in the hopes someone researching VM will see how bad it is and will decide on another ISP.
