So there is no conspiracy of VM not reporting faults to make them look better
I didn't say there was.

On many occasions over the years I have been told that there is no fault in my area. So I have then had to wait in for an engineer (because tech support said it must be a problem with my modem), only to be told by the engineer that it is a problem with the network in my area.

All I am saying is that there should be a system to log faults that are grouped in areas. So that if lets say I am the third person in my area to report a problem, then the operator could tell me that there have been other reports, and it will therefore be investigated.

Instead I had someone in an overseas call centre telling me:
  1. They can't help me because I pay extra to get the 100mb service
  2. There isn't a fault in my area
  3. An engineer will have to come out in 4 days, so I'll have to wait in
