less than 3Mbps down on M250

[HappyHappyHappy]

My service has been intermittently poor for the last couple of weeks or so and is degrading. Websites are noticeably slow to load (+/-10 secs). Using an ethernet connection.

Virgin report no issues in my area, but speedtests over 2 days report <3Mbps down, although up is as per my package.

I have run through the self-tests on the Virgin Media broadband page, without finding any problems.

Turning to this forum, rather than trying to call Virgin: well, I wouldn't repeatedly smash myself in the face with a lumphammer, would I?

Did you 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 street cab/ postcode level.
The "compensation "timer" can also be started on this number if appropriate.

See what is on there and report back

Thanks, according to the automated line there are no issues in my area (and no "compensation timer" option).

Checking "service status" from my account page initially tells me there are no issues, but if you follow that up by choosing "still having issues" and select the broadband option, it then tells me there is an "intermittent signal issue".
