it is 2 days later now so if you are stil, having a problem you need to get it looked at because those speeds are unacceptable. Have you checked your power levels?

It came on for a couple of hours this morning after being down overnight... and its off again for the last 4 hours!

I'm under a lot of pressure to get work done.. I've been with Virgin for 10 years or from NTL and this is been the worst.. because there is no communication and doesn't seem they care. This is as if they've gone back to NTL days of avoiding customers..

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
I am wondering whether they have done some work in the cab and screwed it up. Have you got an attenuator on yout modem?

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
with SNR being that low would agree that something isnt right

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
escalating to the CEO should only be done once you have exhausted the normal methods

jempalmer 04-05-2012 21:06

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
I wasn't aware that there was a specific order in which one makes a complaint. That being said however, if that was your problem, would you not be asking for any and all avenues of redress?

craigj2k12 04-05-2012 21:39

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
the CEO is a last resort in all cases

jempalmer 04-05-2012 22:00

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
According to whom precisely?

Re: Harrogate - Slow and intermittent
 
According to anyone with any common sense.

Why do you think they bothered going to the trouble (ie time and money) of setting up Customer Services, Technical Support, etc. when all they have to do is put a big notice on their website:

"In case of any issues, please contact our CEO. It's not like he has anything else to do all day, like running the company, for example"


:rolleyes:
