Regular Broadband service issues EH13 9LF

[skybluebilly]

For the past couple of months there have been regular 'issues' with the Broadband service in our post code. It is now 7.29am and I noticed the service has another interruption. The breaks in service come at any time and are happening far too often now. I don't want any more apologies, words mean nothing, I want a reliable Broadband. I pay my hard earned money to have a service, which unfortunately is becoming intermittent. I have been with Virgin for a good few years now, but as I draw closer to the end of my contract i think it' time to start the search for a Broadband provider who provides a reliable service.

What exactly is being reported on the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues and fix estimates, down to street cab/postcode level.

ALSO  - keep a record of the breaks like this - If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph”.
