Hi,

I have a Hub 3.0 and since 1 month I have got intermittent internet drops. Now, since two days ago, there is no internet in the mornings, and the lights are flashing in green, until it reconnects.

I work from home on remote, and I have to use my company phone as router to get stable internet during the business hours. 

Could you please check my line, please?

Here are the logs of the Hub 3.0:

Hi CarlosFernandez,

Looking at the logs you have a few T4 timeouts which shouldn't be happening.

Can you please go round and check all the cables are snug and secure, with no kinks, especially the white coaxial cable.

It's possible there's some local work going on. Have you looked at Check service status at the top of the page? You can also a run a test on your equipment from there.

If nothing is showing  you could also try the  Service Status number  0800 561 0061.  This often gives details of more local issues down to postcode level.

You've got quite a few post RS errors - I'd normally say reboot the hub to clear these, but with the T4 errors I think it may be best to leave them for now so one of the more knowledgeable gurus on the forum can have a look and advise further.

Hi @CarlosFernandez,

Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for posting. 

I am sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with your broadband continuously disconnecting. I've taken a look at your account and can see you are impacted by an area outage. You might find that you don't have any Virgin Fibre, Virgin TV, TiVo® or Interactive TV services at the moment. 

This was first raised on 28th May 2021 02:02 and the current estimated time of fix is 31st May 2021 12:00.

The Fault Reference Number for this is F009054116 should you need it for updates. 

Our engineers are working hard to restore your services as soon as possible.

[CarlosFernandez]

Hi Ayisha,

Thanks for your support. But, the "issues" are still happening. Today I was in the middle of a meeting, when the line drop off, and I had to use my mobile phone as router (O2) to continue working. 

I have spoken with a neighbour also with Virgin Media, and he is in the same situation, with continuous disconnections. 

Please, we need this to be fixed..

Kind regards,

Carlos

Dear Virgin Media

I am the next-door neighbour of Carlos and I am having the same problems over the last 2-3 months. Even yesterday evening at 5-7 pm I had intermittent internet. I had an VM engineering visiting my house who checked all internal connections which are all fine, but I still have an intermittent connection. This is a huge disappointment for me as I need to work from home and without a good internet connection, VM is in breach of the contract. We want this problem to resolved and want to a constant internet service.  If this cannot be provided then I will consider stopping my direct debit and take the matter to Financial Ombudsman for VM to provide such a bad service and charging me so much money every month. 

Kind regards,

Hi mmhiqbal,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the community. 

Our apologies you're having an issues with your services.

As with CarlosFernandez I can see you have the reported work in your area. 

This is also under the reference: C01202240

And the current estimated resolve date is: 15 JUN 2021 15:00

While we do appreciate your frustration with this. I would advise that we don't offer a fault free service and faults/maintenance work can occur and these can affect your service. 

We will always work to complete any work or fix any fault as quickly as possible. 

We don't advise cancelling your direct debit as missed payments can affect your credit file.

If you require a internet to work from home then it is advantageous to have a backup connection - a lot people who require a working connection either have both BT and Virgin, or Virgin plus a mobile SIM which they can swap between easily.

Remember that you are using a residential package and as such, service isn't guaranteed. If you require a SLA, then you need to enquire about a business grade service.

Hi Martin

Thanks for your note. I am sure no one expects faultless service. However, the number of times we have had the same faults over last two months or so it is unexpected. 

I will write you back once I have experienced the same fault again and please find a technically consistent answer for the next time. Please do investigate how many times we have had intermittent connections over the past weeks and let us know how many times they were due to maintenance issues. The truth may be you are having an infrastructure issue in Cambridge and you are not willing to admit to your customers here but continue to charge us the expensive rate.
