Did they give reason for a 2 week delay at all because normally you would get the first available slot and 10/07 does not sound like the first available slot, I would ring up and ask for an earlier slot.

Still no internet,
Not ideal when I work from home, so I am having to drive to my Office each day Greeeeeaat.

Has anyone used a Bidirectional Amplifier on their Coax Drop to get a better signal?
I think I might just do this to get me up and running quickly.

I would be interested in comments though.






I can't wait until BT put their hands in their pockets and roll out FTTh.

If they have not booked a Tech out yet then call them on 151 now!!

Thats the first I have seen that far out.

With regards to this, what levels are good?
The reason I ask is my internet keeps dropping out, mainly from friday through tomonday morning. I have phoned VM and they keep telling me that its fine.

I am using a netgear wireless router which is recommended for VM who suggested that the router is at fault but i know that it is fine, and surely if it was the router it wouldnt just be at the weekends would it?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Post what modem you have and your power levels from your config pages of your modem.

Open a browser and in the address bar put> 192.168.100.1 password and username are both root if required.

DO NOT POST YOUR MAC ADDRESS OR SERIAL NUMBER

The downstream which I have highlighted is a bit high and maybe reason enough to call Tech Support on 151 option 3 if it causing you any problems give them a ring and it is free from a Virgin landline.

Ok, I will do.

Thanks for your help and I'll keep you posted on what they say.

Ihad my V+ installed yesterday and the engineer that came out said i deffinately need to get my modem changed because its a 200 and there is no way i am going to get anywhere near 20meg with it because it cant handle it. He tried to book another engineer to come out and swap but I've got to phone them, so thats what I'll be doing today.
