Re: Why I regret joining virgin media

Yep after watching them run the cable up and down the roads its one straight run from here to the cab. Well the tech standing in for the principal tech has been, really nice bloke and hes got my levels back to where they should be

Power Level
(dBmV) 1.93 1.84 1.51 2.02
RxMER
(dB) 36.61 36.17 36.17 36.84
Correctable
Codewords 8738558 13998434 13858588 10973315

ten mins later

RxMER
(dB) 36.61 35.97 36.17 36.84

He said its being passed to networks (again) but now that they have done the repull they have done everything they can from my end so its up to them to sort out. He also said theres no need to change the cable in the garden as a fault on that would show up on my SNR. Im tempted to go and look under these CATV covers but the neighbours might think Im a little bit weird Might save that job for weekend when Ive got a lot of drink down me dont know what they will think about a stumbling drunk looking under grids in the street though

I actually feel sorry for the techs continually being called out when its looked like a network issue from day one, especially with the other posters having the same level of codewords on the same UBR but now they have done all they can its up to networks, the only odd thing is when VM check my ubr it doesnt show all the codewords

Anyway as soon as I showed him my pingplots his mind was made up it is a network issue. At least my V+ reboots have stopped since swapping to the samsung

Pabs if you're about later, Ive bought the maps, the swine I shared em with last time ignored me so I bought them and then shared them with someone else
