I am absolutly disgusted with Virgin...
My connection has been down since Tuesday night, i'm on 20mb and connect through a 250 CM. The sync light on my CM is constantly flashing, and the interactive light on both my set top boxes are flashing.
I phoned tech support tonight and they said all they could do was sent an engineer out, the next available engineer is WEDNESDAY 4-7 FFS!. The person i spoke to on the phone didnt really say much or try and come to a conclusion on the problem.
So now im supposed to go a week without an internet connection? It's ****ing obsurd and im gonna give virgin hell when i phone them tomorrow.
Sync light flashing is a sign of incorrect signal levels.
You could check on http://192.168.100.1 (root/root for user/pass).
If its higher than 15dbVm or lower than -15dbVm then there are issues, and a technician will be needed. A high signal level can be fixed by a homebrew method, but since thats in violation of the ToS, I cant tell you.

Downstream Receive Power Level : -19.3 dBmV
take the db filter off, see how much it goes up by.

It should just unscrew.....rectangle block with threads usually on the end of your cable to your mobile and screws in the back of your modem.
