Hi,
I keep getting this and after an engineer visit, a new router and cab check I'm still no better off.
What is going on here?

Looks like you have a noisy upstream connection as noted by the 32 QAM above. That should be 64 QAM and will need VM to fix it.

Hi @captaincomedy,
Welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for posting.
Sorry to hear you are having some issues with your service. I have checked your account and can see there is currently a SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) outage impacting your area. This has been raised under Fault Reference F009217917 and the current estimated time of fix is 19 AUG 2021 12:25.
You might find that your Virgin Fibre, Virgin TV or TiVo® services are intermittent, with the picture freezing or disappearing now and then. We are sorry and our engineers are working hard to resolve this for you.
I do also note that there are some problems with your signal levels which will require a technician to correct. We are unable to raise a work order until the area issue has cleared. I will keep an eye on your account and once the outage has been verified as resolved, I will follow up with you to get a visit arranged.
Thank you

Hi @captaincomedy,
Just following up, unfortunately the outage is not due to be resolved by 31 AUG 2021 09:00 now so I will reach back out then. The estimated time is subject to change.
We do apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Hi @captaincomedy,
Good news, the outage has been resolved.
I will pop you a PM now so we can get a technician visit arranged so the downstream power levels can be corrected.
Hope to hear from you soon 🙂

I have booked the first available appointment for you. Please log into your online account for confirmation of the date and time. If this is unsuitable, you will be given the option to re-schedule.
