Internet Down

[Spacehopper07]

Good evening VirginMedia Community,

My network (no internet) keeps going down and even went down whilst creating this post!  people are also saying that voice keeps cutting out during telephone calls and Microsoft Teams calls.  Please can someone look at my stats and advise how I can resolve this issue.

Many thanks.

Anyone?

How do I get my internet issue looked at?

[jbrennand · Accepted solution]

Your upstream power levels are all very low and may need increasing

There are a few options. Firstly call it in on the “faults” line - on 150 (VM Phone - free) or 0345 454 1111 (any other phone - national rate). Use option 2 (faults), dont press any other buttons when offered and you should be in the queue for the next agent.
If you get cut off after an automated reboot cycle, just call back in a couple of minutes as the system should know that you have just been on and it hasn’t helped and put you in the queue.

Try now, but calling at 08.00 midweek (09.00 Sun) is the best time to get through quickly at busy/closed times you may get redirected to offshore - hence calling early is best.
You can text VM on 0753 305 1809 include account name/number and what the issue is, there is also a “Chat” option on their website - but note that replies usually take longer. Or you can speak to the team on WhatsApp by logging into your online account via a mobile handset and there will be a link to speak to VM by Whats App (the number is 0780 3089 684 ) - you can use the same number for their other social media platforms too (TwitX/Fbook. etc) - so try them all.



FINALLY… A VM person will pick this up on here and respond, but it can take a few days for them to get here.

Hi @Spacehopper07 

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community.

I'm sorry to hear of any broadband issues. I'll send you a PM now. Can you ensure the Router is fully on? I've not yet been able to connect to it to run tests.

Best wishes.
