Hi all, good to be on the forum.
I've been having a lot of problems with my VM 500Mb broadband over the last few days, from interrupted downloads to total loss of Internet connectivity from my PC (a wired connection to Hub 3.0).
I can see a number of downstream channel power levels are out of range, with correspondingly high error counts.
The downstream channel info is shown below (the hub was reset yesterday).
I'd like to get an engineer out to investigate, but I'm not sure there's an easy way to do that without going through the endless scripts of VM's 1st line support.
What's the best way to get my line fixed?
Cheers
Gary

Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.
VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.
If no area faults found:
The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post. This board is not a fault reporting system.
