Hi CrystalGipsy, 

Thanks for using the forums to get this issue with your broadband services looked into, I am sorry if this has been causing some frustration. I would be more than happy to look into this for you.

I have already taken the time to look into your services and can see straight away that there are unbalanced specs with your downstream channels - which will need an engineer to resolve. 

I will send you a PM in a moment in order to get this booked in for you 🙂

Just for future issues with your services and for any other users that are looking at this thread for help, I have a few links below that might help with general issues - 

  • Our Service Checker is a good tool to use to check if there are any area outages ongoing with Broadband, TV, Landline and Mobile. It usually lets you know what is wrong and how long it's going to take for the engineers to fix (estimated time of course)
  • Your Online Account also has a good tool which helps diagnose a fault within your home network with your Broadband, TV and Landline, it will tell you what's up and what to do next. 
  • We also have a good section for faults on our website here - Help Website - it will give you flows for diagnosing and rectifying faults on a multitude of aspects. A really good link to bookmark!  

Speak to you in a PM soon!

Thanks,

Megan_L

The RxMER is too low on a few channels hence the errors and the intermittent connectivity!

You'll need a tech visit to sort!

Hang tight for VM forum staff!

Also check for service outages - The most useful and up to date info comes from the 0800 561 0061 number. Try that to see if there are any faults that the web service hasn't picked up!

Also check that all the coax connectors to the Hub and TV box/es are tight.

Signal interference on some distinct channels is a common sign of a poor connection either inside or outside the house.  The coax cable becomes resonant instead of a constant impedance.

My name is NOT Alessandro. That's just a tag Virginmedia sticks on some contributors. Please ignore it.

Thanks for the response your online service checker would not work always errored out and there is no mention of any service outage for the current occurrences. Bandwidth is currently at 40mb/s which is considerably less than the 350 I am supposed to get. 

Hi CrystalGipsy, 

Thanks for chatting with me in our PM, I have now booked an engineer visit for you. 

If you need to double check, change or cancel your appointment you can do so through your Online Account instead of waiting for me to come back on shift lol 🙂

If you need any further help after the appointment, please let us know on here so we can continue to support you!

Thanks so much and good luck.

All sorted the cable running from the box to modem was damaged, as it's under the floor the engineer replaced it around my skirting  and all is much better. Let's hope for no more loss of service when the service is running. 

Thanks for sorting this out so quickly. 

Thanks for the update CrystalGipsy, and thanks for @Megan_L for insuring our team we're able to get to your property to have this resolved.

 

Do please let us know if you have any further issues with the connection moving forward

 

Kindest regards,
