Hello friendly forum folks!

We recently moved to Belsize Park and brought Virgin Media with us. Unfortunately the service seems to be much worse in my new address than our old address in Crouch End, and it hasn't worked at all for the last 36 hours.

BQM for 16th April

BQM for 15th April

Even on a "normal" day such as 12th April (BQM for that day) the service was kinda working but really barely useable.

Is there a known problem in the NW3 area? Below is my network log from the router admin. My router (SH3) seems to be in a state of constantly rebooting, usually with the green up and down arrows flashing and a solid green power light and wifi lights.

Any help gratefully received. Thanks!

Check for any “known network faults”

As well as trying the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum), 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 postcode level. These may not be listed on the Area Status web page (Areas are not “Geographic” they are billing areas) as that usually only covers faults affecting 1000’s of customers)

You are missing lots of data - should be 24 Down channels (Hub3) and 4 Up channels - with x2 tables of data for each
