Hub 5x solid yellow light

[Jason18]

We had VM installed by an engineer last week and have a solid yellow light on our router with no broadband. Anyone had this issue before as it is currently sat with VMs illustrious IT team to resolve in 5-7+ working days

I recently had broadband installed in my property 1 week ago by a virgin engineer. The cable was brand new and only installed 3 days beforehand. Since being installed we have had no internet and customer service have been no help at all.

 We had a 5x router installed and apparently only a specific team can handle queries with these routers. There is an IT problem with the setup on virgins side and a ticket was raised with their mythical IT team which takes 5-7 working days to be picked up. No one is able to contact the IT team or speak to manager in that team eithet according to customer service. The ticket was picked up a week later by the IT team and marked as resolved, nobody called to confirm. The issue is still the same so a new IT tocket has been raised but could be another 5-7 working days before it is picked up again.

My question is, has anyone dealt with this mystical IT team before or have any tips on actually getting virgin to complete anything in a reasonable timeframe.

Did it work fine after installation and has now stopped ?

If it did, can you check for any “known network faults in your location - Look in 2 places

1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage (https://www.virginmedia.com/help/service-status)

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 and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

If it didnt - Call the Pre-installation and delivery team on 0800 052 1734 and book another Tech install  to sort it out - open  8:00am to 9:00pm  Monday to Friday, and 8:00am to 6:00pm Saturday and Sunday

Hi Jason,

We seem to be currently going through this exact problem, numerous engineer visits and multiple phone calls.

Seems no-one cares or want to help just keep being told it's being escalated.

Do you know what the problem was and if indeed you did get it sorted and what time frame 

Thanks

Hi Jason

i have had the yellow light and no broadband for a week. Customer services have been hopeless. I have now got the numbers of engineers and field managers who are working through the problem. I’ve had a new hub and port change but nothing seems to be working. Feels like virgin have bitten off more tech than they can chew

Hi

Finally got broadband back after 10 Days. Problem eventually tied down to an error code that had not been cleared when the port on the pole had only been reserved and not assigned and which then expired. Incredible it took son long
