Lost internet on all devices. Service indicator light remained pink, restarted hub (used as modem) and router multiple occasions. Service checker found no issue and didn't let me raise a call. So VM are simply ignoring technical problems but not allowing me to log them? I didn't think their service could get any worse than it was summer 2020 (which I successfully took to the arbitration service and had my claim supported) but it is. The person I spoke with this morning knew absolutely nothing and just went through his script, whilst denying there was a script. As soon as I get good 5g coverage in my area, I am leaving VM. They're abusing their position.

Have you tried the automated Service Status number on 0800 561 0061? This often gives details of more local issues down to postcode level.

No, I haven't.
The connection issue is resolved, it's the fact that they wouldn't let me raise a support call that's the problem.

… probably because there was a local issue, not big enough to go on Service Status. Phoning that number would have advised of the situation with no need for you to log a call as it was already being actioned.

????? We had no Internet, no possibility to log an issue and vm couldn't detect an issue. I don't understand your reply.

Did you ring the local service status line as advised by @newapollo ?
There are two levels of status, dependent on the scope of the issue.
Only extensive outages reach the online Service Status. Smaller, more local outages are advised on the phone line detailed above.
The fact that you were unable to book a call almost certainly means your problem was already known about. A service call never gets booked if there is an outstanding issue affecting your area.

I didn't need to book a visit. Simply log an issue. Where do they put that number on the website?

Sorry but why did you want to ‘log an issue’ if not to get someone to come and fix your problem?

That assumes the issue is local to my house. The fact the indicator on the hub remained pink suggested that the issue was the connection between VM and the rest of the Internet might be.
