One thing I would point out, however, is the number for the upstream utilisation is significantly less than the SNR one. SNR issues can take time to fix, but usually no more than a week or two. So if we assume that ticket is relatively recent. The Utilisation ones can take literally years and given the number it is (tickets are assigned sequentially), it has already been open for quite some time.
Virgin has a nasty habbit of just upping the resolution time on those tickets completely arbitrarily so they're never "Behind".
Seems you were right -

Hi dwarven,



F002308103 has been closed as the SNR has now been raised to an acceptable level and should cause no further issues.



F001996558 is still ongoing. An extra Upstream has been added which has reduced the Upstream Utilisation. The plans are now being put into place to resolve the Downstream utilisation issues.

Hi dwarven,



I can see that fault ref: F001996558 has been escalated to our networks department. The estimated fix time on this issue is currently 13/03/2013 ( although this may be subject to change ).



In addition to this fault ref: F002308103 has been escalated for an SNR issue which is also affecting your connection, this is due to be resolved by 06/02/2013.



I'm very sorry for any inconvenience caused by this.

Hi StumptBloke,



I have checked fault ref: F002308103. I'm afraid works on this issue have been delayed we have a new estimate of 13/02/2013 ( although this may be subject to change ).



I'm very sorry for the delay in resolving this
The dates just keep getting pushed further and further back

Still makes for interesting feedback on their trial Im taking part in
