Frustrating ongoing network problems

Hello all. Having no success talking to 150, have reported this on the 19th July and it's still not resolved, so i'm hoping someone on here can help.

For the past month we have had no internet or on demand/catch-up (on both of our boxes) 90% of time.

Reported fault 11 times and been told the network is fixed 11 times and it NEVER IS! We have had 4 engineer visits cancelled, no-one has visited our address. The online service status does not show a fault.

We have done all the obvious reset, unplug, reboot but this is affecting our hub in the dining room (a V2) and both our front room (V6 box) and TiVo box in the kitchen.

Normal channels are working. Phone (copper cable) is working.

The cable comes to our house, to a brown box where it splits to around the outside of the house to the kitchen and into the front room where it splits again to the V6 box and the hub.

PLEASE HELP. We're at breaking point

Had to visit my daughter to use their internet to send this!

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum)

2) Then also try 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 down to street cab/ postcode level.

I will ask VM to comment here

That sounds awful. And for so long.

As thats affecting all of your cable devices, that must be a supply issue surely! Is that why they are cancelling your engineers?
