The SNR is fine and well within parameters but the Downstream is to low at -8.8 and may need a technician so call 151 from a Virgin phone or 0845 454 1111 from any other line.

Re: Disgusting Connection/installment VM

UPDATE

it took four phone calls to get through to a man called hameed - he was great, seriously best guy, ever!!!

took him 5minutes to realise my signal levels were low (like you guys said ) and put an order in for a new modem to be delivered. modem didn't come when he said it would, but who cares.. it came!!!

A new modem? Sounds like a fob off to me

Re: Disgusting Connection/installment VM

I also had a few teething problems with virgin media but I am happy to say now that all has been sorted out. The first man who came refused to listen as to where I wanted the services installed (i left mum in charge as i had to go to pick up a mate from hospital) in my bedroom at the back of the property. Guy said it was too big a job for him so ended up with everything being installed in the living room and all the cables being left in an appaling state. I rang virgin and made a complaint to the installations team and they sent out another guy on Friday who did a perfect job and put everything where i wanted it. he even commented on his colleagues shoddy work.

im happy now i've got the services where i want them
