Agent refused to forward me to supervisor as they apparently:  “are not authorised to use phones”! :p. So now raising complaint: C-2003231417…….

As 1day of 7 (or) 28  complaint and Hub 3 still has Connectivity of 8 devices and SK/RealSpeed displays NO EXCESSIVE LATENCY/JITTER!. However VMCONNECT displays consistent excess latency/jitter…..  

I haven’t included these daily results (BUT HAVE THESE DIAGNOSTICS AVAILABLE ON REQUEST) so as not to confuse Complaint process investigation.

It is also necessary to refer to my main thread:

https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Networking-and-WiFi/BN3-7N-Updates-Mon-13th-assume-1GBps-upgrad...

which I believe over many months (which again has daily diags available on request) displays many protracted Hub3 resource constraints that have resulted in failure of VM/FT to reply.

Thanks Rob

sorry for any perceived delay but I had a reply last Tues which left me in hysterics and somewhat confused as to what thread they were replying to?

I’ve posted their reply (redacting personal details to conform with forum t&c’s) and will give them till end of this week to re-read this thread in it’s entirety and hopefully reply in correct diagnostic context!

In meantime perhaps you could kindly give them a “nudge” as I don’t want to repeatedly embarrass them in public fora…..  😛

Horsey, send that to Which? - one of their researchers might well get in touch with you after smelling some fun to be had.  Why should you be the only one having fun?

Good idea and coincidentally Which sent me a survey a couple of days ago which I returned yesterday but I think it’s both too early to get a response/follow-up yet and probably Which is already overwhelmed by many other VM complaints/reports!

Meantime I’m accused by VM management of trying to repeatedly “raise a stink” ……. 😛

Watch this space for either VM &/or more of my laboured “clarifications” Friday/weekend.!

What? VM accused you, a customer, of ‘raising a stink’?  If so, Which would love that. If I’ve understood you correctly, itvwasn’t even two fingers you got. 

btw, how’s the Connect app doing?

@Sephiroth wrote: …………………btw, how’s the Connect app doing?

Well all the daily (non VMC) diagnostics I use (and some/most  posted in this thread) simply confirm that Speed is always exceeding Hub3 250/25 Tier speed, and adequate (non excessive) latency/jitter results whereas, the VMConnect consistently displays Hub Latency/Jitter with (10x presumed FP? error).

No PM/DM from VM yet and if no reply before weekend then more fun to be had displaying ResolutionsTeam apparent inept diagnostic approach sufficient to generate more “smellies@virginmedia.co.uk” ?

NB: To be fair Complaints did emphasise it was a “quick reply”,  And the complaint would be left open for 28days, but I’m no longer feeling fair these days…… with the demonstratively incompetence of increasing number of VM/FT staff! 😞

Hi Adri,

PM replied…. Let me emphasise that the COMPLAINT refers to this thread and:

  1. Is not INTERMITTENT.
  2. Does not result in SPEED issue(See SamKnows/RealSpeed posts).
  3. Has already been referred to 150 L1 who appear even more inept(won’t escalate to L2) than COMPLAINTS.
  4. Solely & CONSISTENTLY displayed ONLY in VirginMedia Connect  (iOS 15.x - 16.4) 2 on iPad Pro (4th & 1gen).

However I did provide a link to main thread that yields “potential resource constraints” with Hub3 and VM “network updates” covering previous year+. I suggest before you ask me to to perform a FR that you note my Hub3 firmware/software received a NMS push and L3 Networks will need to confirm that I WILL NOT LOSE CONNECTIVITY if NMS level is down graded by normal “CONFIG” (production DHCP) version?

Good Luck
