We rent out 3 properties to students. In March we upgraded to 500mbps, since then we have only been receiving 30mbps. The houses are all on the same street so it seems clear that the issue is external.
For months I have been contacting VM trying to resolve this issue ‐ I've spent hours upon hours on the phone and online chat etc
All I want is an engineer to visit but its like pulling teeth. How can I get an engineer to visit without going through the same rigmarole every time I call and speak to a "technician".
I'm so frustrated.....
Please can someone help?

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply, I don't have access to the router anymore as the new tenants move in tomorrow ‐ I have been trying to get it fixed through the summer break & failed which makes it even more exasperating.
The issue is with WiFi and ethernet connections and is the same whether one device is connected or 9. I did have some joy at one house while speaking to someone via the chat function when it went up to 136mbps however that was only if you were within 1 mtr of the router & still a very long way from the 500mbps we are paying for and 3 days later it reverted to circa 30mbps.
Which is why I am sure I need a visit to the house/s to assess & do some trouble shooting rather than endlessly turning the router on and off and then being told to wait 24hrs to see if it improves!
